The twilight still lingered after I kissed you,
The world was still the same;
The twilight still lingered and with its fire
Set the dying sky aflame.
The twilight still lingered after I kissed you,
Its breath still caressed your hair.
Vesper bells tinkled from an old tower,
The sea still whispered its prayer.
The twilight still lingered after I kissed you
On that rocky, windswept shore,
But there was one little star in the sky, dear,
That hadn’t been there before.
Chas. Heitzman.
