Count the Stars

Count the Stars
 
 
We could sit and count the endless stars
This wondrous heavenly night is all ours
 
We could travel a million tears away
In your heart I will promise to stay
 
Let’s go walk the glorious sand filled beach
Where to tides of tomorrows are out of reach
 
Why don’t we exercise grit and determination?
To allow us both to rise above temptation
 
We Could we take a small boat out to sea
And taste our freedom on the evening breeze
 
Another nightfall has again come too soon
Your bed is beckoning you from your room
 
Close your tired eyes and go the sleep
Over the past you need not weep
 
Dreams of our heavenly Lord above
Allow him to surround you with his love
 
Wake to a brilliant orange sunrise
Wipe last night’s sleep from your eyes
 
The ocean’s mighty waves rise and fall
The echo of the ocean breeze calls
 
While in spirit we dance on the shore
Neither of us could be wanting more
 
No doubt the two of us have been blessed
You are my friend and I love you the best
 
Count on the stars in the vast night’s sky
To give our blessed hearts no reasons to cry
 
With all the countless stars that fill the skies
There will always be new hope for you and I
