JUST A DREAM

to my beautiful island

Come cuddle your head

on my shoulder dear,

And we will go sailing

away from here.

Away from life's hurry

 and flurry and worry

Away from the earth's

shadow and gloom,

To a world of fair weather

we'll float off together

Where roses are always in bloom.

Just shut your eyes and fold your hands,

Your hands like the leaves of a rose,

And we will go sailing to those fair lands

That never an atlas shows.

On the North and the West

they are bounded by rest,

On the South and the east

by dreams,

Its the country ideal

where nothing is real,

But everything only seems.

Just drop down the curtains

of your dear eyes

And we will sail out

under the starlit skies

To the land where

fairies dwell.

Down the river of sleep our yatch shall sweep,

Till it reaches that mystical isle

Which no man has seen, but where all have been,

And there we will pause awhile.

I will sing you a song as we float along

To the shore of my beautiful island.
