I had the most wonderful dream
When I was asleep last night
I was a dove
Soaring across the heavens
Into the silver-lined clouds
What would it be like
To have you be my forever
Flying next to me in the sky
But I would not know
Nor would I be so clever
For when my eyes were shut tight
All I could think of
When I was an angel
Was how you were my wings
I had the most wonderful dream
When I was asleep last night
I was a lion
Looking down upon the world
With teeth bared in power
I was the king of the jungle
But what was a king
Without his queen?
But I would not know,
Nor be so clever
Because while I'm ruling the world
You held my hand
And brushed a finger through my hair
I had the most wonderful dream
When I was asleep last night
I was an owl
Blinking its eyes
Up at the moon in wonder
Ruffling its soundless feathers
And eyes that saw through
Even the darkest of silhouettes
But I would not know,
Nor be so clever
Because while I'm basking
In the violet hours of dusk,
You light the path for me
With the glow of your
Charmingly crooked halo
I had the most wonderful dream
When I was asleep last night
I was a human
Sitting cold
Under the sun's white shadow
Waiting for Mother Nature
To make her next move
And to set us with wrinkles into the earth
But I would not know,
Nor be so clever
Because while I'm crying
A river of salty tears
You have your arms around me
And whisper words of comfort in my ear
But I don't think that was a dream
