I was staring at the empty white wall
Thinking of the emptiness of my life
And it was beginning to take its toll
And creating tense emotional strife

The moon rises over the blue bayou
And the music starts under the moonlight
I feel my heart beating as I hold you
As we dance in rhythm with pure delight

I stare into your gaze with a wide smile
To have someone beautiful in my arms
I hear my heartbeat racing for a while
As I get lost in your magical charms

The leaves turned into the colors of flame
As the summer season came to its end
The autumn breeze softly whispered her name
And it echoed into my heart and mind
