Wings

Out in the open field

I stand and gaze at the night sky

Dreaming I have wings and I can fly,

Because then I will bring you to the stars.

Using my dreamer’s wings

To the moon you I will bring.

We will sit on clouds in the purple sky

As the stars sing to us from up high.

They will dance around you

As they sing about you

And we will laugh with our hands held tight.

We will soar above Egypt

Above the silver sand and pyramids.

I will bring you to France

Atop the Eiffel tower we will dance.

We will dance all the way to Chicago

With nothing but clouds beneath us as we go,

We will hope the night will never end.

And when you grow sleepy

In my arms you I’ll carry.

I’ll ask the stars to sing you lullabies

As the moon say her goodbyes.

I’ll whisper you a goodnight,

A sweet dream and a sleep tight.

As I fly you to your bed.

Teardrops slide down my face

As reality hits me on the face

I open my eyes

And see myself standing in the open field.

I pack my dreamer’s wings away

Waiting to use them another day

With you…

I look up at the night sky,

Thinking if you’re dreaming tonight.

I close my eyes and whisper to you,

“Thank you for the night…”
