Jasmine Dreams

Oh, I’m going to meet you
my fair Yasmin	I’ll hug you, 'till you laugh

Oh, I’d want to meet you  in mad Mumbai,
beneath the orange sky

If I could I bring with me    a ticket or three
I’d wrap you up, the kids in tow 
I’d take you home with me.

We’d turn our backs on the city life   on men
we’d find a place where we’d be safe
a place		where writers blend
beneath a sky of blue

We women four would grow and grow
we’d be most famous	you’d see
cause there’s nothing to compare
to show I care, than to have you  here
Yasmin.
