Only In Dreams

“Heavenly shades of night are falling,”
yet I’m feeling so blue.
for I have found only one way
that I can be with you.

“I’ve just closed my eyes again”
and my mind is taking flight.
It’s willing you to come
“help me make it through the night.”

“Oh, my love, my darling,”
your kisses are sweeter than sweet.
I could stay in this night forever,
for only in dreams do we meet.

How I wish my reality
were, instead, these nights of bliss.
Then it could mean just one thing:
“I was dreaming when I wrote this.”

Verse 1: Twilight Time by Moody Blues
Verse 2: Dream Weaver by REO Speedwagon
              And Kris Kristofferson's Help Me
              Make It Through the Night
Verse 3: Unchained Melody by Roy Orbison
Verse 4: 1999 by  Prince

Blimey, I'm either getting old, or I like my music as I like all of these tracks. Wonderfully created together Utah Babe. I hope it does well in the contest, it's delightful. Happy Sunday to you Andrea :)

Hello Andrea Interlacing those songs is quite a mental job. You did it so well. Your personal warm touch is amazing. Thank you for your nice comments. I feel bad sometimes when I missed opening my PS due to hectic schedule. Dalila

Great job Andrea. This was an interesting contest wasn't it? It has been hard to keep up with contests and entrys. My brother went into a coma Monday and passed away today. We knew it would happen but it is hard. Love, Joyce
