Dreamworld

Spirit of surrounding dreams
Fall afresh on my sleep tonight;
Give to me that I might make
Desire’s thoughts reality.
And when my head on pillow lies,
When my eyes close in the dark,
When my mind awakens with
The visions of a long night’s rest,
I pray that you will visit near -
Come share with me outside this world
And laugh and talk and be with me
Alone together as we should be.
Love me now as I love you.
Hold me close and feel my strength
Wrap you tight as you, too, sleep
And lose yourself within my arms.
The night has given hope to us
Once again to move along
And face this world each with the other
Until we face it hand in hand.
And so I lay in bed each night
And whisper words as I do drift,
Fall afresh on me tonight,
Oh spirit of surrounding dreams.
