I had a dream inside my mind...
If you would have loved me...
When I needed love
I would have known your tender lips of comfort
In my dreams...
I danced with my tall dark stranger
I know- had you been with me
I'd have heard the melody of the song
I walked in the tides of darkness
The cloak of eve crept silently in the shadows of night
And…
I willed my heart to think of you
I'd have known the secrets of the night had you been with me
Sheltering my soul with your sweet, tender embrace
Trees lowered their limbs to me...
Mysteriously crying
And I...
Little and alone, had no arms to warm my soul
Again...
I willed myself to think of you
The wind with its soft, velvety breath
Whispered quietly to my heart
"I am with you"
Then...
It secretly stole my thoughts away
The night smiled-as it said...
"Be patient my lady"
The moon came down and danced with me
While the gods softly whispered
"Once more"
Again...
I desperately willed my trembling heart to think of you
As I remembered your gentle touch
Suddenly...
I found you, strong and sweet
And I...
In that soft moonlight, was no longer alone
For there in the night, was nothing else that mattered
And nothing past was true...
But the white fire of moonlight
And my bright dream of you
Then...
I reached out my hand...
And you came
