I believe you live in my past,
You and me floating on a rippling lake,
A warm summer breeze caressing our bare feet,
Surrounded by a mirror reflecting stars.

A long way, from today,
A long time, dreaming,
A long time, waiting,
To touch love once again.

Looking up each night at the heavens,
Struggling to see your spirit,
Looking for a bridge across time and space to your heart,

Seeing fiery stars,
Flying through space and time,
Messengers carrying memories,

Wondering if they are sending prayers to me,
From a thousand years past,

Never giving up hope,
Looking for your Soul,
In this time and place.

Seeing a ghost behind every cloud,

I raise my hands to the stars each night,
Praying my final destination is kneeling,
Before your Soul,

Floating on a silver lake,
Hearing the laughter,
From our children playing in the sunshine.

My dear love,
Don't' cry,
Everything I gave you, can never be taken away.

Hush now,
Be happy,
Our Souls touched,

An impossibility that only fate would know,
That two hearts needed to meet and lift each other up,
After falling so far.

The things I gave you will remain with you forever,
They will never be retaken,
My love will be with you forever.

I only wish I could give you more of my heart,
To carry with you after I'm gone,
Stay strong my princess.

And when we're apart,
I will hold tight,
The treasure of our last kiss goodbye.

Morning summer sun,
Shining on a cold, empty bed,
A lonely day comes again.

Every day is the same,
Missing waking up in your arms.

A cold light shining on my Soul,
It seems happiness only comes when falling asleep,

Traveling to our past,
And dreaming of happy sunny summer days,
Both of us sleeping together in our warm, loving bed.

Hello, my dear dream,
Happy to see you in the bright morning sunlight,
Remembering, a passionate; kiss.

A sensual embrace a thousand years past,
The two of us bathing in a misty stream,
Under a ghostly moon.

Memories of a place where princesses and kings lived,

With wishful dreams, of golden sunsets,
Our Souls are holding each other in Heaven.
Until the gift of life comes again.

Living in the forest of nature,
Loving, making, new life,
Painting a new future;

With a brush of passionate words,
Painting songs and love poems,
Of a place and time, we can only dream.

Back then we just didn't know,
That we would ever meet again,
A thousand years hence.

My dear love,
Good to see you in the daytime.

Walking along the long the lonely roads of life,
Lonely and sad,
Looking for true love once again
An impossibility,

When I know,
Love is waiting for me in Heaven,
A curse, I do not understand,
That God, has bestowed on me.

My beautiful bride,
Dressed in white with Angel wings,
Open arms, beckoning, come to me, my love,
Hold me tight.

Only one step,
In the front of a speeding cannonball,
A speeding cannonball,

It will it take,
To be with you again,
My one and only love.

I've missed you so much,
My bride.

Standing at the beginning of a new life,
Looking up at our destiny,
Each star is sending us a dream,
Sharing thoughts, of love, children and hope.

Standing on a sandy beach before a vast Eastern Sea,
Warm sand is caressing our feet.
Each grain of sand a dream, flowing through my fingers,
While ocean waves, tickle our toes, holding on to hope.

Standing here holding you tight, my wife,
While star shine strokes your hair,
Is a dream,
I will never let go.
