Red Light
I drove my car
In the middle of the night
Window down as I go uptown
And saw a red light as bright as the moonlight
park my car under the red light
to see your moon-shaped eyes
that gives warmth like a sunlight
In this breezy cold night.
Then you look at me as
I look at you with a smile
that brightens my entire night,
As the cold wind hits me
I drove faster as I remember
That those that I saw
were just the memories of you and I
under the same night sky.
