Moonlight on the Bay

Beside the rustic harbor stands a lighthouse on a hill And it keeps a watchful vigil o’er the waters deep and still At night the harbor waters shine almost as bright as day And nothing is as beautiful as moonlight on the bay The shores stretch out their golden arms along the rugged land And the waters seem to sing and dance across the golden sand The cool and salty ocean breeze blows softly through your hair And tiny sparkling water droplets gently fill the air I stand next to the water's edge and listen while it sings The water seems to know the gentle comfort that it brings I long to have you at my side beside the shining sea And I listen as the water brings your image back to me Though we are very far apart I still can see your smiles And the water whispers soft and sweet across the many miles I hear your sparkling laughter and it softly seems to say “I love you”, and it fills my heart like moonlight on the bay
