Roman Candles

Roman candles light up the midnight sky.
I hear the bells of St. Matthew’s ringing.
A mariachi band goes walking by,
And in the black night, the birds are singing
They sing a song of sweetness, they sing a song of joy,
And then they take wing and fly off together.
Without a word between us, without a word we knew.
Without a word, we knew there’s love between us.
Hand in hand we walk, heart to heart we talk.
We will talk about things we did today,
And then talk about things we will do some other day.
And then we will say goodnight, but right now let’s kiss.
I’m glad you’re a girl.
You light up the night like a roman candle.
