The Reality of You

the days slowly go by

one at a time

hour by hour

minute by minute

year by year

and season following season

you are in my heart

you flit in my thoughts

in my dreams

and in my thoughts

you sit there

your hand out for me to hold

the reality of you

is more wonderful than dreams

can suggest

the reality of me

a mere shadow by far

like the day enshrouded by the mists

one day melds into another

i can see you clearly

the day is gone

yet there you are

waiting for me

i reach for you

you hold me close

i wake to the reality

of your strong loving arms around me

the mists fade

you are still with me

day by day

year after year

season following season

i wake to feel you close to me

close to my heart

forever a part of my soul

Dreams, Wishes and Lies

wishing you could be here

with me tonight

to see all the stars in the night sky

it wouldnt be the stars that id be watching

my eyes would be locked on you

full of wonder and love

love for you that might

never be told

wonder that you might

feel the same

AH the dreams that we dream

and the wishes that we make

the lies we tell ourselves

will it all lead us down a sad little path

will it lead me to your arms

will you find your way to me

i dream a dream

i wish a wish

and tell my self lies

just to make it through

a dream of you

a wish for two

a lie to fill my soul

a dream for you

a wish to come true

and a lie that can become the truth

how silly of me to lie to me

but the wish is in my heart

and the dream ....

the dream of two

could be so real

the wish in my heart

that could never be a lie

wishing you could be here this night

dreaming in the night

telling my self it could all be true....
