Cotton Candy Skies

I will whisper it to your ear

And won’t repeat it twice:

“Would you be willing to count stars with me

Under the cotton candy skies?”

While summer breeze brushes your hair,

And lonely man sings a song in a far

I wonder about the universe’s tale

And look up to ask your star,

Ending up thinking about you and I

Under the cotton candy sky.

I drown myself in memories

Of happy days and nights

I linger through your pictures

Where you are showing off your big smile.

Even though I know that some memories will eventually die

I would still want us to make a new one

Under the cotton candy sky.
