And I Dream

Through long monotonous days
Often dreams come my way
Filling my head with visions sublime
Taking me to sweeter climes
And I dream of fields with wild flowers
As a young girl playing for hours
Remembering all my childish wishes
Pretending I could feel angels’ kisses
In the morning thoughts can bring
A longing for flying wings
To take me back to a time
When worries didn’t fill my mind
And I dream of a cooler breeze
A budding woman soon I’ll be
Desiring to be something more
Wanting to be beautiful and adored
In the noontime images come
Reminiscing of things I’ve done
Precious moments frozen still
Beautiful memories all too real
And I dream of a bundle of pink
My eyes overflow as I think
Of the miracle given to me
In her my joy is made complete
In the dusk visions appear
Ones that my heart holds dear
For a moment I drift away
Longing to relive the day
And I dream of the fall fair
The greatest love I found there
In an instant our hearts were bound
No greater love can ever be found
The night is here with the sweetest reveries
Moments in time that are yet to be
I wander through my river of dreams
Dancing through glimmering moon beams
And I dream of pearly gates Being in a heavenly state
Running along the streets of gold
Knowing the One I want to hold
Passing by the crystal sea
Suddenly I’m on my knees
My face is down at His feet
I found the One who rescued me
I cast my crowns before Him
The glory of His face makes Heaven grow dim
He picks me up, my tears fall gree
Wiping them away He embraces me
This is the sweetest of my dreams
Knowing that it soon will be
Through long monotonous days
Often dreams come my way
And I dream of angels’ kisses
And flying wings, my heart’s true wishes
