OUR NIGHT OF FIRSTS

 

I dreamt last night

About our night of firsts

I saw everything with such clarity

Though it was many years ago

All the sights and sounds

The smells and of course touch

It was such a special night

Our night of firsts

Our first date

The first time we held hands

As I walked you home

Along the orchard lane

And then of course

Beneath the cherry tree

Our first kiss

On that late spring evening

When the air was full of perfume

And we heard the birdsong

We gazed into each other’s eyes

Then our lips touched

And our fate was sealed

For at that moment

On our night of firsts

We fell in love

From that moment on

And all the days of our lives

Our love has lasted

And though I am alone now

And I can only kiss you in my dreams

When my time comes

We will meet again

And walk hand in hand along the orchard lane

And kiss once more

Beneath the cherry tree
