Lyric

On the night porch, I opened the window just a crack

Distant city lights are breathing in the black

You’re staring at the sky, searching for a word to say

The summer breeze brushes your shoulder in its gentle way

"Do you have a wish?" you asked with a little smile

My heart felt a bit lost for just a little while

But reflected in my eyes is only the shadow of you

And that is the light that guides me through

Falling streaks of light are binding us in two

The Perseid meteor shower tears the night for me and you

One by one I counted them, our promises so strong and frail

I give them all to you; just hold my hand and let the silence sail

The seasons slowly turn their pockets to the sky

Winter constellations start to dance before our eye

The Geminids are falling through the white of our breath

While the sound of our laughter defies the winter’s death

In the moment where the city noise begins to fade away

We’re sharing the same sky in our own special way

The Leonid meteor shower throws a momentary spark

Lighting up your eyes just a little in the dark

The trail of shooting stars is carrying our plea

Like the Eta Aquariids drifting over the sea

Hold onto the passing time and let our breathing align

Until the midnight becomes our secret, yours and mine

Even if a name should vanish in the evening breeze

Even in the dust of memories, there’s a meaning to appease

In the night that comes again, let’s go and search once more

Until the tiny light draws a path upon the floor

Thinking of you every time a star falls isn't a sin

Shooting stars are gentle where the wishes all begin

Perseids, Geminids, Leonids, and Aquariids too

I wrap them all together and I vow my fire to you

Don't fall asleep yet, sky; hold our voices in your deep

Until the meteor shower fades, stay right here while I keep

Right by your side
