The Dream

I held you in my dream last night -

a dream of overwhelming bliss.

Two lovers in the fading light,

I stole your heart. You stole a kiss.

A dream of overwhelming bliss

that made me sorry when I woke.

You stole my heart. I stole a kiss

then watched you fade and my heart broke.

That made me sorry when I woke

and so I chased you back to sleep

but watched you fade and my heart broke.

I’d held you tight and kissed you deep

and so I chased you back to sleep

and found you there at midnight’s stroke.

I held you tight and kissed you deep

and found you with me when I woke.

I found you there at midnight’s stroke.

I’d held you in my dream last night

then found you with me when I woke,

two lovers in the fading light.
