All the lights came on

In every city, in every heart

This is what I call a proper love poem. Send this love story to someone who makes you burn as brightly as a star. This is ‘All the lights came on’.

All the lights came on
In every city 
In every heart

All of us were there
In every waiting room
On every bus
Under every endless sky
In every heaven
For ever and for ever
We had all been hoping 
Together in the darkness
For a hand as warm as yours
And a heart as full of questions

All the lights came on
And the whole world stopped
Every brake in every car
Every eye alight with every star
Seven oceans stopped their waving
Even the faithful ceased their praying

To see us both in bed and burning yellow
To hear my heart and voice both quietly saying

"I love you"
