I Wish

I wish that we were all alone,
Upon some moonlit shore.
With no one to disturb us,
About an hour or more.

We'd walk along hand in hand,
The breeze blowing our hair.
We'd be so full of happiness,
And full of love to share.

The sea would be whispering,
Wonderful words of love.
And the birds would be singing,
Sweet songs way up above.

Under our feet would be
The nice, soft sand.
Oh how happy the two of us would be,
Walking hand in hand.

In that hour or maybe more,
We would laugh and sing.
And look at all that our God made,
Birds, the sea, just everything.

It would be so nice to be,
Upon some moonlit shore.
To be thankful for each other,
In that hour or more.
