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
