Chapter 5: Tonight Prelude

In her Magic Forest, Maeley and her little sister Annie seek refuge from their father — under a sky of shooting stars.

Tonight Prelude

So still in the darkness long before dawn

Night sky like a blanket

With the stars shining on us

Tonight

Tonight

It’s a perfect night, it’s a perfect night

Tonight’s a perfect night 

And my heart’s flying

Here with you

Hold on tight to remember

This night our whole lives through

Always and forever

I’ll love you
