Sounds floated though these skies.
Across the room is where she lies.
Her laughter made him smile.
And he stared at her for a little while.

She sang to him his favorite song.
Each night went by in each other’s arms.
He held her in a tight embrace.
They would always conquer whatever came their way.

Sounds floated through these skies.
Across the room is where he lies.
His whispers made her smile.
She knew what would come in a little while.

Kissing her softly,
He hovered over her that night.
Told her he would always love her,
And that everything would be all right.
They made love at that moment
And held each other tight.
Together, forever
Is how they’d lived this life.

Sounds floated through these skies.
Across the room is where they lie.
The thought of their future made them smile.
Time seemed to stand still… for a little while.
