wishing in the dark

denim shorts, old t-shirt, sitting barefoot on a swing

we would sit and talk for hours, about nothing, about everything

sun fades low behind the trees, moon and stars light up the sky

crickets play for us a serenade as we watch the fireflies

wish this night could last forever, that i could stop the sands of time

for our love to last a lifetime, your hand held tight in mine
