Heartshine Blues

They sat out underneath them stars gigglin' how each one blink,
Whisper in his baby's ear to shame 'em with her sparklin' wink.
He point out what the educated men said was forms in the skies,
An' trace contour of her face, losin' himself in heavenly eyes.
Snugglin' under cloudless forever, talkin' 'bout dreams galore,
Make love in the breeze as if the night was theirs forevermore.

Happen to look at one another, 'course you know what they find,
Both wonderin' if it somehow possible to read each others mind.
Locked them hands tight as a vise, lay nestlin' without a sound,
Try as they might to enjoy this moment o' happiness they found.
Off in the distance lone coyote howl, lamentin' bein' left alone,
As she purr in his ear how happy she was havin' him all her own.

Now times like this don't last for long, account o' life is brief,
But I done said many times you heart last forever if it has belief.
Showin' our affections to our treasured ones is gifts we can give,
Don't cost nothin' more than a reminder to 'em every day we live.
Mama once told me we here to know love, an' Lord I know it true,
Only thing I can add to that is what could it do for all o' you?
