A large sky overhead
In an earlier post, I mentioned I was going to write a song about the other clear night when Darby and I were stargazing. Here's a first draft of the lyrics. . .
Large sky overhead, large heart beside me, I’m comforted inside both.
Bright stars overhead, bright love beside me, illuminating who we are.
Lying still, barely a breath, as we let God’s glory fall on us.
And for once we are recognizing what it is.
Falling stars just for us, promises of a love unending.
Life depends on moments like this. Love renews on moments like these.
Eternity made of moments of love. Eternity made of your aching beauty.
Our whole life fits inside this sky. My whole world fits inside your love.

I like the lyrics!! I love songs about God's beautiful creation He's given us. Your words brought back many memories of looking at the stars on the beach when I was little. Every year my extended family (around ninety people!! I know, craziness) goes to the beach for a week long family reunion and we used to go out to the beach at night (about thirty of us together) and try to find shooting stars. Complete silence, then a bunch of oooooooh's as all of us saw the same one together. :) Fun times! Methinks I should renew this tradition that died...

Whenever I am looking at stars I always think that there should be more songs about them. I can only think of one and it's from Les Mis if you ever heard the music from it. Anyway, I hope I get to hear it sometime. I need a new song to hum on starry nights. :o)

Looks like it's shaping up to be a great song! Need a little guitar? I think I might know somebody who could help you out there if you'd like.
I love stargazing too! I do it rather frequently, I spent a couple hours watching the sky with Laura (she's my girl friend) last night. nothing quite like it! Somehow when you look at something so infinately huge it changes the way you look at your own little life.
Ps. All these initials flying around. I think that I need a cool new pseudonym
