'Only one Life'

Under the velvet night skies,

And dew dropped heavens

I watched a shooting star,

And thought of you

Through the windows,

I heard the ocean breathe

As the moonlight danced,

On the wandering shores

And in the sweet night air,

That flowed over in waves

A memory drifted ,

Of your voice in the wind

And the very thought of it,

Caressed my mind

A symphony in the silence,

Of the darkest night

Only one life to know,

The flames of fire

Only one love to dream of,

That never leaves
