Once upon a summer's evening
Stood a girl beneath the stars
Watching, waiting for her angel
Would he ever come this far?

Once upon a summer's evening
Played a boy in stellar dreams
Fires in heaven, quietly raging
Like hushed fires within, it seemed

Once upon a summer's evening
They shared wanting moments there
Now where's that angel?  Where's that fire?
Where's that love sought in their prayers?
