Romancing the Stars!
 | Let's look at the stars tonight Find the constellations that make up our names And carve the clouds so it looks like ice cream puffs Let's stop thinking too much about how and why we're not there yet Let's start thinking here is now, and tomorrow can worry about itself We're free to roam that three thousand mile highway We'll take that joy ride that means nothing and everything! Strum that guitar, sing the silliest songs we can think of Let's make up the lyrics of parts we don't remember And laugh heartily for absolutely no reason at all Before you know it, we've circled the planet three times Let's make it fun to be lost! Because we have incentives to explore When it rains, we'll drink the drops like it's the sweetest wine Run around shouting our lungs out like we own the world And when we catch our breaths, let's write this insane poetry On a cardboard paper we'll put in a bottle and throw it to sea
Finally, when our muscles ache, we'll quietly wait for the dawn As we watch the bonfire grow from a rage into quiet, gentle embers Then let the sun find our faces and hear it say, "You've done a good job being happy"
