Hesitations of Your Heart

Each night the moon tells a story of loneliness and love, hidden within its shades of light and dark.  And the quarter moon that’s falling – faintly like a dove – reflects the hesitations of your heart. 

      Once your love was like a river – running wild and free –never trusting anyone too far.  Now you found someone who’s special – one who loves you tenderly.  Now you feel the hesitations of your heart.

      At last you’ve found a love that won’t let you down.   At last you’ve found yourself a home.  But you’re afraid that if you try to settle down, you’ll still feel the need to be alone.

      And so you spend the night in silence – just gazing at the sky – trying to figure just how to work it out.  But the stars that shine above you – like the stars deep in your eyes – reflect the hesitations of your heart.

      At last you’ve found a love that won’t let you down.   At last you’ve found yourself a home.  But you’re afraid that if you try to settle down … you’ll still feel the need … to roam.

      And so you spend the night in silence – just gazing at the sky – trying to figure just how to work it out.  But the stars that shine above you – like the stars deep in your eyes – reflect the hesitations of your heart.
