Take me out to see the stars
In the freckles of your eyes;
Make a wish in whispers
To tear apart decades of lies.
Take me out to see the stars
Trace them in my palm;
Call my heart with constellations,
Name each until I’m calm.
Take me out to see the stars
Until the moon descends;
Promise me beneath their gaze
To be forever friends.
Take me out to see the stars
And as each fades away
Deny that they’re forever gone
But, like you, are here to stay.
