Two in the ocean

Days and nights, days and nights, day after day,
Time flows like water—it slips away.
You and I drift in this ocean so wide,
Two tiny rafts through the waves and the tide,
Through endless blue where the sky has no end,
A watercolor of lilacs—our window’s soft blend.
A candle at night—don’t you blow it out,
Don’t you blow it out.

My heart beats with yours, my heart beats with yours,
Your heart beats with mine, your heart beats with mine.

How many storms have we weathered before?
How many winds have howled at our door?
Who knows how far we must sail on this stream?
Only a voice from a childhood dream.
Children still laugh, children still play,
Dog on the porch and a cat in the hay.
A candle at night—don’t you blow it out,
Don’t you blow it out.

My heart beats with yours, my heart beats with yours,
Your heart beats with mine, your heart beats with mine.

Let it be, let it be—no need to rush,
No need to rush.
Let life walk beside us, two lines in the hush,
Two lines in the hush.
We’ll conjure an island, a refuge so bright,
Call every soul to our feast of light.
A candle at night—don’t you blow it out,
Don’t you blow it out.

My heart beats with yours, my heart beats with yours,
Your heart beats with mine, your heart beats with mine.
