I Dreamed...

I dreamed of something silver
Worth its weight in gold
I dreamed I found a necklace
That was something to behold

I dreamed of myself walking
At the end of my tightrope
I dreamed I found a necklace
That would give me hope

I dreamed of rapid changes
So sudden and so right
I dreamed I found a necklace
That would change my life

I dreamed of random chances
And only good fortune
I dreamed I found a necklace
That could only make me grin

I dreamed of consistent smiles
Purely happy harmony
I dreamed I found a necklace
That could cause no misery

I dreamed of a good luck charm
That I would cherish and would toast
I dreamed I found a necklace
But awoke to find a ghost
