A Night's Journey

When the late night shines upon me And I am just a yawn away From entering my dreamland Such a lovely place to play Will I remember if I have been there Are my thoughts sketchy at best When I lay my head down to sleep For an evenings night of rest When my head it hits the pillow And I slowly fade away To escape into my dream world To lead my mind astray They seem so clear and vivid While I live them in my mind But the details become sketchy When awakened they are hard to find But I travel back each night time In search for a perfect place A fine nocturnal excursion And a view of your beautiful face My heart has joined this lovely ride It has traveled this road before Walking hand in hand in the night sky Revisiting earth once more We’ll dance across constellations Tip toe along the stars While the evening skies become your eyes And I feel you near and afar Then suddenly we are falling And the planets pass us by Holding on to each other While we no longer fly Our lips they touch just one more time I suddenly lie awake Returning from a journey I never knew I would take It all seems so wonderful That I close these eyes each night And float away with my imagination The heart navigates this flight Some times the ride is plenty rough Waking up in a cold cold sweat Recalling that you cant dance in the big dipper Without getting your big toes wet Now I lay me down to rest And these eyes will slowly close Ready for my night time journey But to where? , nobody knows
