close my eyes, and I see her
nothing is just as it seems
she walks softly in moonbeams
but can she live only in my dreams

staying in the shadows
trying not to make a sound
I see the light twinkle on her skin
feel her presence all around

through the forest
filled with trees
all is still
save a gentle breeze

every night I return to this place
to watch her quietly
to see her face
am I dreaming of the future
or a memory 'tis displaced

I listen to the birds softly chirping
as the daylight breaks
I see the highlights in her hair
the smile upon her face

I dread the daylight coming
for in that time I know
my dreams will end without her
oh how I love her so
