Purple Dreams

When I close my eyes and drift away...
Resting my head on a cloud to pray...
I'm seeing purple butterflies across my sky...
With wings of an Angel that will keep them high...
It's your smile that brings these days...
Overstepping disbelief in the shadows of yesterday...
The sound of your voice to the wave of your hair...
As those purple butterflies dance around a circle in 
a square...
My eyes fight to stay closed but the daylight steals 
my dream...
Waiting for the sun to set so I can flutter down those 
purple streams...
