Malibu-streaked moonlight

Streetlights setting
Over a hundred fantasies
Malibu-streaked moonlight
Under shaky trees.
Lovers clasping hands together
Mementoes of a day
When love seemed pure and worth the risk
When love was painted grey.

The slightest touch had me shivering
As it so often does
A quiet feeling of restlessness
Treasured in the dark.
A softly turning smoke-ring
Surrounds me in the night
The whispered words from far away
More comforting than light.

Kiss me again as you did that night
Send electrics down my spine
Build a feeling of beauty
More wonderful than mine.
Empty shadows, crisp and clear,
Entwining in the night
Streetlights setting smoothly
Under Malibu moonlight.
