I drove into the hills
Hoping to find inspiration
As I sat in the back of my truck and took in the view
I experienced a beautiful thing
I saw a couple holding each other
Their silhouettes painted a picture of love
Upon the canvas of city lights
And when she put her head on his shoulder
I could hear him smile
We forget about these moments
As we go about our lives
Traveling between street light and intersection
Shopping mall and subway station
And we forget to stop and find the beauty
Maybe you have to be above the city
To appreciate its splendor
On a quiet hill away from it all
To admire from afar
But as I sat there in quiet solitude
I knew that something perfect transpired tonight
Two people found love
In the company of stars
And I got to paint that picture in my memory
