Dance of the Fairies

There’s a wondrous secret hidden place that I like going to And if you’re very good my sweet I’ll share this place with you It’s half in light and half in dark between the night and day And if you’re very quiet you can watch the fairies play They gather in the twilight on the far side of the hill But if you want to see them, then you must be very still No noise or movement can you make for they are very shy And if they see you hiding there then far away they’ll fly I like to watch them dance and sing beneath the silver moon And listen as they play their flutes and blow a magic tune After they have played a while they all prepare to eat I watch as they prepare their meal so magical and sweet They gather stardust and moonlight and cook them in a stew And then they fill their tiny cups with early morning dew When they have finished dining they will start to play again And then my dear you’ll never guess what starts to happen then The fairies gather one and all and right before your eyes They'll zoom into the starlit night on golden fireflies Zipping back and forth they fly, racing with each other They dart along the hillside, first one and then another Chasing shooting stars they see throughout the moonlit night They sing and dance together until morning’s early light So if you’re good my darling child you soon will get a chance To come with me to a magic place and watch the fairies dance
