Dedication to Fading Romance

Let's drift back to the very first night
That very first date
That very first time
It wasn't beaches or dim candlelight
But it was dramatic
Romantic
Ecstatic
Excentric
Just me and your smile.

We were in your car
Stars in the skies
Stars in our eyes
Knowing our souls fit so right
That this couldn't be --wouldn't be-- the only night
We'd sing to every radio tune
Driving only to follow the moon
Just me and your smile.

So why has it been so long since then?
Why are we living
Always missing one another?
Like there isn't a highway
Connecting your lovely country life
To my lonely city strife.
Let's meet up tonight
Without questioning how long the drive.
We can walk and talk
Or sit and stare
As long as we're together there
For a short time
That seems so long
Or a long while
That seems so brief
Just me and your smile.
