It Happened One Night

Laying in the grass, just staring at the stars,
I found my mind wandering, wondering how you are.
I hope that you are happy; I hope that someone cares -
Because you know, forever, I will always be there.

I promised you a thousand times that you have my heart -
No matter how far we may go, we're never that far apart.
Life is cruel and life plays tricks, but we'll make the most of it;
Together we stand, hand-in-hand, and that's something, I'll admit.

The grass was cold under my back, but I didn't really mind -
I just let the memories take me back, as my body began to unwind;
The tension just melted away, and for a time, I could smile -
It was something so unfamiliarly pleasant; I hadn't felt that in awhile.

The stars, they twinkled absently, playing to their own beat -
Just like the time when we danced, when our bodies did meet.
Slowly we moved, our eyes locked, dancing hand-in-hand -
No better moment I ever spent, no bigger prize I did land.

I tried to match each star, for each reason I loved you,
But when I reached a million, I realized stars were few.
They twinkled and they disappeared, making it hard to keep track -
But my reasons, they did grow, as I kept looking back.

Your eyes showed me you care; your hands, they held me tight;
Your words could quell my fears and tell me what's wrong or right.
You kind heart let me in to a place no one dared to go,
And in return, I loved you; I just wanted you to know.

Your smile brightened up my days when the world seemed so cruel -
Your laughter made me giggle. not feel like the fool.
You caring ways did catch me when I began to fall -
Your loving manner broke right through my defensive wall.

Your jokes could make me laugh, I still hold each moment in time;
Each precious gift you gave to me, I could never call them mine.
For they were shared between two souls, bonded at the heart -
A touch, a smile and a laugh; it was true love from the start.

So as I counted the memories, my phone began to ring -
Never had a phone call brought such joy as yours could bring.
"Honey, I'm so sorry, I never meant for us to fight.
Can you please forgive me? Without you, nothing's right?"

"I've been waiting for your call, hoping you still cared -"
"Babe, you know, I told you, I will always be there."
"Then let's move on from this, and put the past behind.
It's no use dwelling on mistakes, I have come to find."

"Honey, I'm so glad to hear it, because I have something to say -
Remember what I said? It was just the other day?
I told you that I loved you, and I would forever.
So don't ever be afraid because I'll stop next to never."

The call didn't last much longer; there was nothing left to say -
But I learned something special and I learned it that day:
No matter what happens, your heart may just be right.
So I guess you could say I fell in love; It Happened One Night.
