To look way up high
At the clouds in the distance
Afloat upon the midnight sky
And see the lights Of the city,
Stretching from so far and wide,
Is a burning taste so sweet:
Filling me with a joy I cannot hide.

A sight so full of beauty, tis the prettiest I know --
A promise of reacquaintance:
Lasting friendships amongst the glow.
A chance to be together again with family and friends --
All the dear ones I love most.
That tingle of excitement never ends.

For it is not just the promise of things soon to be,
Yet so much more than rekindled memory:
More than just a simple guarantee
Of the best times yet to come
And the everlasting dreams
Of events said and done.

It is a love affair I look upon
When I see that horizon's glow:
A midnight sky prettier than the sun
Stretching further than sunsets go.
No matter where I roam, I feel no fear
For I know I am returning
The moment I see the lights of home.
