in my dreams

There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when Id wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin
You see in my dreams you love me

Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But, I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep
At least I could pretend youre thinkin of me
Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy
You see in my dreams

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I dont know really what it means
All I know is that you love me
In my dreams

I keep hopin one day Ill awaken
And somehow shell be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin
She touches me and suddenly Im alive

And, we climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I dont know really what it means
All I know is that you love me
In my dreams

An anthropologist once asked a Hopi why so many of his people's songs were about rain. The Hopi replied, "Because water is so scarce. Is that why so many of your songs are about love?" ~ Gila: Life and Death of an American River
