When the Stars Lean Low

The moonlight spills like a tipped glass of wine,

Soft and slow, it dances on the pine.

The breeze hums low, a secret tune,

And I’m here waiting, just for you.

When the stars lean low, and the night turns still,

I’ll hold you close, against the chill.

Hearts whisper truths only shadows know,

When the stars lean low, when the stars lean low.

The porch light flickers, a bashful glow,

Like it knows the stories lovers sow.

Your laughter drifts like a melody sweet,

It’s a song that makes my heart complete.

And oh, my dear, the night won’t wait,

It bends for love, it bends for fate.

When the stars lean low, and the night turns still,

I’ll hold you close, against the chill.

Hearts whisper truths only shadows know,

When the stars lean low, when the stars lean low.

The crickets play a string quartet,

A tune I know I won’t forget.

Your hand in mine, the world turns slow,

Underneath where the stars lean low.
