And the Clock Tolls Midnite

And the Clock Tolls Midnite

The countdown has ended
The clock tolls midnite...
Another year gone
Another yet to come

You kiss my lips gently
A smile dancing in your eyes
Your lips come close to my ear
“Happy New Year Baby.”

A smile plays at my lips
The planned words that had been waiting
Waiting to pass thru my ready lips
Just the right moment to tell you
Had come and gone.

“I Love You” were those planned words
What my heart and soul felt
With every breath that passes
For the words that had never been spoken
From my heart to yours

The time has passed
No longer midnite
No longer the beginning of a New Year
Another minute gone as quickly as it came

Will the perfect time come again?
I ask myself the question
I realize now that when you love someone
Anytime is the perfect time
No matter the time of day
No matter the time of nite

The countdown has ended
The clock tolls midnite...
Another year gone
Another yet to come
