The Sparkle and the Shine (teenage wooing project)

I was fishing for a star

Swimming in a sky darkest blue

I was hoping to catch one

And give it to you

The shine and the sparkle

Would light up your eyes

The Moon would crack a smile

And catch you by surprise

You could carry your gift

Like a goldfish from a fair

Checking the bowl every minute

To see if the star is still there

I’d tell you not to worry

Your star will not die

If you ever lost it

There’s plenty more in the sky

Put the star by your pillow

Leave the curtains open wide

Let the night be your firefly

That came along for the ride
