Always fumbling in the dark on my own,
I laugh as I talk about tomorrow.
Funny, isn't it?
"It's cold tonight," I say,
holding two cans of hot coffee
on the fire escape, our shadows lined up
under the sky above
The night light that surrounds
where we are,
I call your name in my heart time and again
to keep from crying
From so close we're almost touching
I can feel your warmth
That's right, now and forever
Now matter how pretty the words I use
to say "I won't hurt anyone,"
It doesn't mean I've gotten the hang of
Kindness or lying.
In such a restless world as this
Love is completelty unknown,
But I take a breath
for the flower that will someday
bloom in my heart.
Now, even on days when all around us
is lost in darkness,
the night light gently lights
the profile of your face.
Without losing sight of that small light,
I'll walk on
And now, it's you[1]
Softly I call your name in my heart
time and again to keep from crying.
The nightlight that is always by my side,
lighting up tomorrow.
When you looked over your shoulder,
and there was a soft light
Yes, now and forever
