about

This song was inspired by my imagination as a child. My parents would read bedtime stories to me and in my dreams all of these wonderful, mystical characters would come to life with so much colour and charisma, that when I woke each morning, I would wish to go straight back into the dream world again. This song is an ode to that magical imagination that children have.

lyrics

When I'm asleep 
You come to me 
A gentle breeze 
With light you lead 

And when we dream 
Where do we go 
To stay a while 
A place we know 

Still you softly sing my lullaby
Drifting, fading, leave me in the sky

Carefully you shield me from the rain
To a place where we can love again

And when You dream
Where do you go?
To safely stay
A place we know

Where old friends meet
A youthful place
No sadness here
A loving space

Still you softly sing my lullaby
Drifting, fading, leave me in the sky

Patiently I wait, you'll see me there
With cherry blossom petals in my hair

One simple moment
I'd give whatever
To dance under the winter sun

When I'm asleep 
You come to me 
Your gentle breeze 
With light you lead 

And when I wake 
My soul you take 
I wish you'd stay 
You leave in peace
