She was sitting alone, by the fire at night, Lonely, and feeling so blue. She dreamed of her prince in a faraway land, She was hoping her dreams would come true. The full moon hung low, and all was so still, An eerie silence, enveloped, her heart, She was empty inside, and not knowing why, But the feeling just tore her apart. Thunder and lightning out in the nighttime, the two never seem far apart. Lightning they say, is the magic of love. Thunder's the beat of two hearts. She'd been hurt before by the men in her life, Yet she still had the strength to go on. Was she a fool to cling to the hopes, of what would be brought by the dawn? She gazed at the stars through her windowpane, As slowly the tears filled her eyes, Placed a log on the fire, she curled up to sleep, Awaiting a cold sun to rise. Thunder and lightning out in the nighttime, the two never seem far apart. Lightning they say, is the magic of love. Thunder's the beat of two hearts. The firelight dimmed and slowly went out, A thunder was all to be heard. Was this her prince on his mighty steed, She wondered without speaking a word? The thunder drew near as she rose from her bed Was she dreaming, or could this be so? Were they hooves on the ground, or just in her mind, Was her white shining knight going to show? Thunder and lightning out in the nighttime, the two never seem far apart. Lightning they say, is the magic of love. Thunder's the beat of two hearts. Out by her door in the mist of the night, she saw by the moons' silhouette, The man of her dreams beckoning her Come ride where the sun never sets. She opened the door, he reached out his hand, To his mount she was raised to his side, They smiled, then kissed, and she seemed to know, That together, forever, they'd ride. Thunder and lightning out in the nighttime, the two never seem far apart. Lightning they say, is the magic of love, Thunder's the beat of two hearts. With a crack of his whip the horse bolted forth And rose to the clouds up above Thunder and lightning out in the nighttime The two stay together in love. Now lightning they say is them as they kiss, and at night as you look to the sky, The mist is the mane of the mighty steed, So listen, as they thunder on by....
