Good Things

flames of love leap high 
'neath a star spangled sky 
while the moon ignores
and the planets are mere passerbys 

the coals of life are glowing
somewhere beneath the ground 
the plants are all rejoicing 
a truly wonderful sound 

you and I are laughing 
young and spry and bright
happy as two can be 
sing'n 
gosh, this is the life

the clouds hold in their tears
not wanting to drench us to the bone 
but they've had a pretty bad day
and soon wer're running home

hands over heads
and giggles on tongues  
soaking and dripping 
all the way home 

your hair smells like rain 
mine does too
I make us hot chocolate
my own special brew 

with extra marshmallows 
we sit by the fire
still dripping all over the floor 
you ask me a question 
then ask me once more

thinking I didn't hear 
but I heard 
i heard every word 
I just wanted savor them
let them sit in my ears

let them dance
let them sing
till it's near midnight 
and my ears start to ring

from all the good things
that you've told me.
