As I Lie Dreaming

I want to live between the silver lining

Between the darkest looming clouds

I want to sleep under sparkling sun beams

And listen to the quietest sounds

 

I want you to wrap me in a dream

And then lock me carefully inside

Where I decide what's fact and fiction

Somewhere pleasant for me to hide

 

My whole life I've been floating

Gliding ever closer to the ground

But I wish you could send me soaring

Where no weakness can be found

 

I want to swim within the stardust

To be enveloped with glitter and lace

A childish dream that's sugar coated

Because sometimes I don't have what it takes

 

I want to lie with you along the shore

And feel the sea foam through my hair

I want your hand clasped within mine

And stay with my memories there
