Come To Me

Come to me in the hush of night
Come to me in the silence of my dream;
With your sweet smile and eyes so bright
Like sunlight dancing on a stream.
But my eyes are filled with tears
For lost memories of those broken years

The dream so dear, yet bitter sweet
That awakened in a new disguise;
When wanting love we used to meet
And now the ache of yearning eyes
Has slowly closed the door
That once was open and now is no more.

Yet in dreams you come so I can live
A cherished life that yields to death;
Come back in dreams and I will give
Your beating heart its final breath.
Come to me and whisper low
Of a love we lost so long ago.

Now I lay me down to sleep. Per chance a dream to dream so deep. Of love so lost in yesterday. Tomorrow just can't find it's way. But, alas, we must go on. To wake up to another dawn. To spread our wings and learn to fly. For if we don't, we'll surely die. So love again with hearts anew. That's really all that we can do. It is exciting to face the day. With brave new souls to find our way.
