A bang then stardust in your eyes. A billion years or just this night. Either way it'll be all right. A blackness then the light of a million stars. As you slip into my car the evening sky strikes sparks. This life this life and then the next. With you I have been blessed what more can you expect. At night at my telescope alone. This emptiness I've roamed. Searching for a home. The stars a brief string of shining charms. Rushing in red out of our arms into the drifting dark. This life this life and then the next. With you I have been blessed what more can you expect. This life this life and then the next. I finger the hem of your dress my universe at rest. We reach for starlight all night long but gravity's too strong. Chained to this earth we go on and on and on. Then a million suns cresting where you stood. A beauty in the neighborhood. This lonely planet never looked so good. This life this life and then the next. With you I have been blessed what more can you expect. This life this life and then the next. I finger the hem of your dress my universe at rest
