More beautiful than stars

\nI find true beauty in the stars that decorate the night
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And in their Queen the shining silver moon
\nI love to lie on summer hills and marvel in the light
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 That’s lost within the golden dawn too soon
\nAnd as I lie on balmy nights beneath pure velvet skies
\nMy mind, at times, will wander to the beauty that’s your eyes<\/p>\n
I marvelled at the beauty when a willow kissed the lake
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And moorhens hid within its dappled shade
\nA waterfall at sunset saw me stand in awe and shake
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 As shattered diamond rainbows were displayed
\nThe beauty of that waterfall was mine for just a while
\nBut in my dreams I’ll always keep the beauty of your smile<\/p>\n
I closed my eyes as Mozart filled my ears with liquid gold
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And dreamed that I was floating with each note
\nThe French horns spilled more melody than any sea could hold
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The orchestra provided me a boat
\nAlthough the music lifted me if I could have my choice
\nI’d give away all Mozart’s art to listen to your voice<\/p>\n
The break of dawn on Snowdon saw pure gold meet fresh laid snow
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A sight to make the heavens hold their breath
\nAnd everyone who ever lived should marvel at that glow
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Then know they’ve seen it all before their death
\nBut mountains touched by winter or a valley jewelled with dew
\nWill never mean as much to me as catching sight of you<\/p>\n
