A Lucky Man
The other night while looking up at the stars
A satellite passed through the nighttime sky
We both laid quietly on our backs
Trying not to blink an eye
No artificial lights from nearby cities
To distort our perfect view
I love laying out here in the open air
Sleeping next to you
We left our troubles back home in the city
Hiking out here for hours on end
I consider myself a lucky man
Being married to my best friend
We saw a shooting star
And each made a private wish
Mine was one that instantly came true
When you shared with me a kiss
The nighttime air was turning cold
But inside the sleeping bag it was getting hot
As gazing at stars became a second priority
To a passion that has never stopped
I love our friends and our social life
Fine dining and taking in a play
But the way we spent the last twenty-four hours
To me, is a perfect day
Soon we will return to the city
And a routine that has become mundane
But I will survive dreaming about the time
When we both can do this again
