lyrics:

Oh, our lives are entangled at a supersonic pace

And when those calendars sync, there ain’t no more damn space

We keep searchin’ for the sunshine, but gettin’ clouds, wind and rain

And the deadlines and detours just seem to always remain

But no matter where you are, right here, near or far

You are always in my heart, under those Milky Way stars

Oh, this little planet called earth revolves as strong as my heart

With the energy of a lightnin’ bolt, it can tear anything apart

So, bring to me your beauty like a soft summer moon glow

And when your river of love runs through me, I just gotta let you know

That no matter where you are, right here, near or far

You are always in my heart, under those Milky Way stars

Oh, I’ll sit back and gaze with you

While the sky fades to black from blue

And I’ll strum this old cosmic guitar

Underneath those Milky Way stars

Those Milky Way stars

Those Milky Way stars

For no matter where you are, right here, near or far

You are always in my heart, under those

Milky Way stars

Those Milky Way stars

Those Milky Way stars

Those Milky Way stars

liner notes:

This song speaks to the busy-ness of life and no matter how crazy it can get, there are always two constants – the love I have for my partner Juile and those beautiful Milky Way stars.
