~A Mermaids Wish~

A Million stars are sparkling
Beneath the pale moonlight
As I watch him walk along the beach
on this enchanting night

And as he walks along the shore
I swim along beside
But as soon as he turns to look my way
I dive beneath the tide

My heart is filled with restlesness
I long to hold him near
He looks out toward the ocean
he can sense that I am here.

This Prince that fills me with desire
remains a dream to me
For I am not of his world
My life is beneath the sea.

And so I swim along the rocks
the reef hiding me from his sight
And wish upon a falling star
on this enchanting night..

That a giant wave will carry me
and lay me at his feet
He'll slowly lift me from the shore
and then our eyes will meet

And he will know it was my song
that filled the air on nights before
The one who brought him back again
to walk this very shore.

Our souls will unite and break the spell
that keeps me from the land
and we will walk along the beach
together... hand in hand
