Summer Night

on this summer night in the summer sky
the little girl she came
on the painter's board she saw
a summer sky on a summer nite

stolen glances on moonstruck eyes
the wide world she gazes
awaiting the falling stars
on this twilight summer nite

upon the stars she wishes
a wish captured with eyes shut
lasting it a little longer
this constellation of summer stars

the little girl she stood
holding on to that elusive wish
a lonely river of milky way
still waters running deep

sky was breaking, day was near
the painter's board he kept
and the little girl may she remember
that starlit sky on that summer nite
