Sweet Dreams 

I may never know the meaning of true joy and content 
But at least I've had a glimpse of what the poets meant 
When they wrote of deep devotion and a love not bound by time
For late at night, in slumber, you are truly mine

As I drift off to a dream world it's your sweet smile I see 
The sparkle in your bright eyes shines for only me 
We may walk the sunny shoreline or romp in the leaves of fall
As the illusion overtakes me you're my one and all 

I can almost feel your hand in mine and the wind blowing through my hair 
As you smile at me and I know that I put that sweet smile there
When I awake to stark reality I know that it's not real 
But I cherish these sweet memories and how they make me feel

If I never feel your lips on mine, and am never soothed by your gentle hand 
My memories shall sustain me in this cruel and unjust land 
Though our fates may never intersect and my dreams remain untrue 
There'll always be a place in my heart that's occupied by you
