Forest of dreams

take my hand

and I will take yours 

 

off we shall fly

to a world of wonder

past the stars we shall go

to the place of dreams

 

together we shall laugh

 

together we shall play

 

together we shall hide

 

together we shall discover

 

the forest of dreams

 

lilting on their dark branches

are glittering birds of ivory

and the shadows are home

to the memories you have forgotten

 

of your childhood dreams

of your playhouse and toys

of your starry nights

of your fantasies

 

come with me

 

together we shall dance

in the darkened fields

encased in the forest of dreams

 

where the fireflies will slowly come

and cast their enchanting glow 

 

then when we fall to the ground

in smiles and laughter

slowly your eyelids will become heavy

you will be silent enough to hear the soft

and ever complex Aria

that flows from forest itself.

 

softly I will carry you

to a place of refuge 

so no harm may come while you rest

 

so when you awake

you will find yourself

in the safety and warmth 

of your bed.
