Moonlight On the Shore

By George L. Ellison and Dena M. Ferrari

Moonlight on a tranquil shore
Rippling waves tracing patterns galore
A Gull cries out in the dead of night
As surf breaks at the water’s edge without might
Fresh and cool the salt sea air
Happy am I with you so near

How happy am I to be here cuddling with you
Embraced by the salt sea air and your arms so true
Tide washes in sparkling under the moons light
Gull tucks its head under its wing and sleeps for the night
A dolphin leaps high for pure joy splashes
As we watch the sea under the stars as a comet dashes

Sharing this magical moment of ours
Watching the clear sky and its meteor showers
Making a wish that this night will never end
With you by my side who are more than a friend
Feeling the sand between our toes
What lies before us God only knows

Here’s to the wish we cast on that shooting star
The future is ours no matter how far
The mystery of life will always continue
As long as love is alive and I’m with you
Here’s to watching the dawn’s new day
Glowing in the horizon as dolphins splash and play

Moonlight on a tranquil shore
Rippling waves tracing patterns galore
A Gull cries out in the dead of night
As surf breaks at the water’s edge without might
Fresh and cool the salt sea air
Happy am I with you so near
