Once upon a dream, If only you believe in them, A glimmer of the stars Dances down into your lover’s eyes And to your great surprise Doesn’t leave Once upon a song If you but sing along with them, A whisper of the tune Casts its magic on your lover’s voice And now you have no choice But believe
When nature teases us with her springtime tune And God smiles down on us in a crescent moon The planets all align With the stars behind cloud nine A dream once forgotten now comes true
Once upon a quest If only you envision them In reaching for the stars Hoping for a lover and a friend Whose love will know no end, No demise Once upon a wish If only you imagine them A daydream of the one Singing life with you in harmony Your future you can see In her eyes
When nature teases us with her springtime tune And God smiles down on us in a crescent moon The planets all align With the stars behind cloud nine A dream once forgotten now comes true
Once upon a tale Of Alice down a rabbit hole Of Tigger, Pooh and Roo Cinderella and her Prince in love Too crazy to dream of Coming true. Once upon a dream, If only you believe in them, A glimmer of the stars Dances down into your lover’s eyes And to your great surprise Says, “I do” written 23 Aug 2020

"The flutter-by moments within". I know just what you mean, Brandy. Those moments deserve to be memorialized in words, for they are truly magical. Thank you for your wonderful influence and inspiration with your romantic writes. Letting emotions have their say. ~ John
