Star Gazing
~ Star Gazing ~
A star shone bright in my window one night
I leaped from my bed and I sang it a tune
It grinned at me, then took off like a flash
I sprinted after it madly, a 100-yard dash
It turned left at a stoplight onto a skyway
When I fell -- sure 'twas foul play -- Tho' anyway
By the time I looked up, the bright star was gone
I moaned, my face drawn, "What else can go wrong?"
"Plenty," intoned a voice, a voice from nowhere
That made my flesh crawl, a jolt of a scare
'Til my heart near gave out, when scanning the sky
I saw the face of my true love ~ my star up so high
