Dancing in the stars

On our walk our legs got tried 
We stopped in the cool grass to rest and talk

We felt the dew on our toes
We felt the breeze in our hair
We felt the night humming to us
We stopped talking and the night fell over us

We turned our faces to the sky 
And were blessed to see the stars

Too bright to be real
Too close to be fake
Too near not to be touched 

They called to us in their high clear voices
They told us to stay
They hold us with their words

We fell into the sky
We danced with the constellations
They were new, not in the space books
They were people and places and faces
They sang to us a beautiful and sad song

Everywhere we turn and looked
They were with us
Nothing we did went unseen by them
They were there only for tonight

They were love
They were fear
They were life
They were death

We laughed and cried at the beauty of these new stars 
We had never seen these before

The ones in the sky every night before were not the same

We felt drunk and high 
Off what? We did not know

They told us to remember
They told us to sleep
They told us to go home and remember what we've seen

We'll never see theses stars again
But we will never forget
