[00:00.488]I recall the story, [00:19.032]That night of love and glory [00:22.217]A night that left my heart romantic scars [00:28.816]We stood so near to heaven [00:32.800]That I reached clear to heaven [00:37.080]And gathered you a handful of stars [00:44.376]Sweet remembered hour [00:48.088]When love began to flower [00:51.364]With moonlight through the trees like silver balls [00:56.919]And as the moon grew older [01:00.624]I reached across your shoulder [01:04.472]And gathered you a handful of stars [01:10.465]I placed my fingertips upon your lips [01:13.593]And stars fell in your eyes [01:17.368]Moonglow made a halo of your hair [01:23.408]Suddenly you looked at me and dreams began to rise [01:29.831]Oh, what things unspoken trembled in the air [01:36.639]Our hearts were madly beating [01:39.687]And then our lips were meeting [01:42.991]And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars [01:48.985]Then while we stood caressing [01:52.583]Blue heaven sent a blessing [01:56.055]A shower of a handful of stars [02:04.359]Our hearts were madly beating [02:36.766]And then our lips were meeting [02:40.591]And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars [02:46.630]Then while we stood caressing [02:51.446]Blue heaven sent a blessing [02:56.158]A shower of a handful of stars
