Song inspired by Lake Carlysle

We Wish Upon a ;Shooting Star

 

In blankets at the end of the day

on a point next to the bay

We find Cupid with his bow

in a constelation picture show

 

He takes a shot from way up far

and lets fly a shooting star

A vee of geese goes flying by

he hits his tareget from the sky

 

We see a spark in the heavenly stage

It jumps my heart and lights my flame

It opens my minds book of names

and I turn to my favorite page

 

A long shot from some galaxy

from somewhere in infinity

If it could only and only could be

could become a touching memory

 

Oh to find a where and when

and have a reason to have been

To arrive here just in time

just this moment for it to shine

 

We see a spark in the heavenly stage

It jumps my heart and lights my flame

It opens my minds book of names

and I turn to my favorite page

 

We wish upon the shooting star

that came right here from oh so far

from oh so far to oh so near

to light a flame and spring a tear

 

To be for only yours and mine

for the moment we were looking up

Hearts to touch and lives define

to catch our eye and fill our cup

 

We see a spark in the hevenly stage

it juimps my heart and lights my flame

it opens my minds book of names

and I turn to my favorite page

 

Sometimes at the end of the day

I'm in blankts on a point by the bay

I find Cupid with his bow

i a constellation picture show

 

He takes a shot from way up far

and lets fly a shooting star

a vee of geese goes flying by

he hits his target from the sky

 

I see a spark in the heavenly stage

it jumps my heart and lights my flame

it opens my minds book of names

and I turn to my favorite page
