Happy Dream Angel
I sat in bed the other night,
The room only lit by the moonlight.
I shut my eyes but couldn't sleep
I looked to the ceiling and began to think
But before I could sleep, I saw a shadow
Almost like peter pan
The shadow was there
But Without a man
Out of bed I did leap,
But the shadow moved, quickly on its feet
I couldn't see what it could be
I thought my head was playing tricks on me
Back into bed I got
The shadow gone, or so I thought
The shadow then sat on my bed
I turned and listened to what it said
I am not here, yes that’s true
You’re not going mad, I’m part of you
I’m the part that comes out to play
I’m the good in all your bad days
Now don’t freak out, let me say
You’re dreaming now, a world away.
But as you sleep, out I come
A happy dream angel to get rid of the glum
It’s not all about fairy dust and glee
You my friend hold the key
Somewhere deep inside of you
Is a little girl trying to get through?
The one who was always happy and fun
The one who loved to play and dance
The one who too used to cry at night
The one like you, who knows how to fight,
And then in the corner what did I see
A little girl who used to be me,
I grabbed her hand and gave her hug
A little girl I wanted to love
But again I looked and all I could see
Was how much she’s gonna hate being me
So happy and joyful now it’s true
But wait she’s 30…Bipolar now it’s over to you.
In all this upset the shadow stepped in
And parted me and the girl and said let me begin
“You both can live here happily together,
And let memories bring you closer than ever”.
When you’re feeling sad and blue
Think of the little girl who lives inside of you
At night she always comes out to play
But your sadness sometimes keeps her locked away.
A happy dream angel that I am,
Now both of you hold out your hand
Let’s go fly and be free
Let’s go and experience what real happiness can be
So off we flew, to where I don’t know,
Me and the girl laughing all the way through
Back in the bedroom all in flash
It was time to say bye to the angel of dreams
A ringing in the background began to distract
I woke in bed alarm clock in hand
I jumped up and the girl was nowhere to be seen
Neither was the angel who protects my dreams
Another day like no other it’s true
Except no one knows what I've been through
For what I saw last night will always be…
What reunited the little girl in me x
