Elora's Song
Elora’s Song
Of all the words that I could write of all your childhood dreams
Of stories filled with wishing wells and pages of moonbeams
I’d write these magic words among the stars over the hills
Once upon a time I loved you, and I always will
Of all the magic I could give you of all the wondrous tales
Of forests filled with unicorns and strewn with dragon scales
I’d summon these few runes and leave them on your casement sill
Once upon a time I loved you, and I always will
You are a fantasy, though the magic that you’ve made for me is spilling out like sand
When you look up at me, the happy endings seem to be all slipping through my hands
I can’t hold onto them forever after
The winds of time are blowing them away
Of all the songs that I could sing of love that cannot die
Of kingdoms filled with lavender and castles in the sky
I’d sing to you of a secret place in me your magic fills
Once upon a time I loved you, and I always will
