Little Buddy

I close my tired eyes to rest
In bed now for the night 
Then slip into the chasm
Where sleep and dreams take flight 

I'm walking through a tunnel
A woman's standing there
I'm pretty sure that I know who
There's no one else so fair

As I draw near she looks at me
With eyes of sparkling blue
A scent of perfume in the air
I'm drawn to her, she's you

A smile so inviting
Entranced I make my way
Towards where you are, delighting 
I have no words to say

Though lips don't move, there's singing
I recognize the voice 
It's yours, all senses tingling
My heart starts to rejoice

I love your voice, so wonderful
To listen to and hear
I never want another one
Within my aural sphere 

You sing my name in melody
I answer when you call
Your arms are open towards me
Approaching you with all...

...I am, excited
I'm not sure what to do
You tell me to embrace you
I wanted to, you knew

And when I do my love for you
Pours out in happy tears
I've waited for this moment
I've dreamt of it for years 

Alas, it's just another dream
The real thing still eludes
But I know should it come to pass
No thing will then preclude
