ripens, when the moon rides free.<br \/>\nHow bright the joy \u2014 your hand in mine that day,<br \/>\nWe\u2019ll race on sands where lonely shorelines lay.<\/p>\n<p align =\"right\">I still recall that year \u2014 the white shore\u2019s gleam,<br \/>\nYour laughter drew me deep into its dream.<br \/>\nWe chased the waves, our hearts like singing foam,<br \/>\nThen lay in dusk \u2014 the sea became our home.<\/p>\n<p align =\"right\">The breaking waves became our song\u2019s refrain,<br \/>\nYou softly sang, your voice like silver rain.<br \/>\nI drifted lost in heaven\u2019s misted glow,<br \/>\nYour hair held whispers of the sea below.<\/p>\n<p align =\"right\">The thought of homeward tides makes pulses leap,<br \/>\nYouth calls once more beneath the moon\u2019s white sweep.<br \/>\nThe days grow long, the nights move slow with ache,<br \/>\nAnd restless waiting keeps my heart awake.<\/p>\n<p align =\"right\">I miss you, love \u2014 through countless sleepless hours,<br \/>\nCold sheets, one pillow, scent of withered flowers.<br \/>\nWhen autumn\u2019s moon is full, I\u2019ll come once more,<br \/>\nAnd walk with you by twilight\u2019s dreaming

autumn\u2019s ripe and the moon rides free.<br \/>\nHow sweet the joy \u2014 your hand in mine today,<br \/>\nWe\u2019ll run through sand where quiet waves still play.<\/p>\n<p align =\"center\"><strong>Verse 2<\/strong><br \/>\nI still recall the shore so white and wide,<br \/>\nYour laughter dancing with the evening tide.<br \/>\nWe chased the foam, the wind within our hair,<br \/>\nThen lay on sand \u2014 the world dissolved in air.<\/p>\n<p align =\"center\"><strong>Chorus<\/strong><br \/>\nThe waves will play the song of you and me,<br \/>\nYou hum a tune so tender by the sea.<br \/>\nI drift in dreams, in heaven\u2019s softest light,<br \/>\nSea breeze entwines our hair beneath the night.<\/p>\n<p align =\"center\"><strong>Verse 3<\/strong><br \/>\nI miss you, love, so many sleepless nights,<br \/>\nAlone I lie, the pillow cold and white.<br \/>\nWhen autumn moon is full, I\u2019ll come once more,<br \/>\nAnd walk with you along the quiet shore.<\/p>\n<p align
