Cloud Nine

Caught in the quiet whisper of a Christmas night

Feeling like the stars are shining just for us

A friendship blooming, softly taking flight

Heart's racing, can't get enough of your touch

We worked side by side, shared laughs and dreams

Then a holiday, under Christmas lights

Plus ones together, or so it seemed

Now my mind's spinning, day and night

You're gorgeous, you're kind, a story to be told

Got a past that’s painted in shades of bold

I want to take it slow, don’t wanna rush the gold

But I can’t help these feelings unfold

In this cloud nine, I’m flying high

Afraid to say what’s in my mind

Wanna tell you, but I hesitate

Loving this step, loving this pace

You've been through storms, come out strong

Kids you cherish, heart that’s gold

Talking to you, all night long

Feels like a story waiting to unfold

You're gorgeous, you're kind, a story to be told

Got a past that’s painted in shades of bold

I want to take it slow, don’t wanna rush the gold

But I can’t help these feelings unfold

In this cloud nine, I’m flying high

Afraid to say what’s in my mind

Wanna tell you, but I hesitate

Loving this step, loving this pace

Maybe someday we’ll see where this goes

No rush, just the rhythm of our flow

For now, I’ll cherish the gentle glow

Of a friendship that’s destined to grow

So here I am, heart open wide

Hoping you feel the same inside

Taking it slow, no need to hide

With you, I’ve got nothing to hide
