As we traveled the lake on those star filled nights,

Riding that boat that had all those lights.

Sharing with feelings from early that day,

Listening to music that boat did play.

As you stared at Lovers who boarded from shore,

Your feelings did change like a closing door.

I always wondered why you acted that way,

Were you thinking of us or you had nothing to say.

Was your love changing in a different way,

Was it more or less with each passing day.

Looking back in time from love that should be,

Did I miss something my heart couldn't see?

Now you are gone from that star filled night,

You turned off the light in my heart that burnt so bright.
