MEMORIES

© Gloria Smith 2010

Such a lovely, crisp fall night

Moonlight falls as bright as lightning

Twinkling stars offer their distant light

I send you the wild dark wind

To whisk your worries away

And bribe tomorrow for a sunshiny day

Oh lay your head upon my breast

I'll pray the Lord to grant you rest

The Earth is spinning round and round

Lay your heavy burdens down

For it is night and night's for dreaming

Rest from scheming; stars are gleaming

Wispy clouds drift by in a moonstruck sky

While you lie safe and warm by my side

Rocked to sleep by the beat of my heart  

A Lover's kiss lights upon your forehead

Like a butterfly gently brushing by 

I'm dreaming too and wishing that you

Were near my dear; not far away

As ancient stars wink in the dark sky

I dream in the night of days long past

My heart remembers lips warm & tender

My surrender; passions flame still burns

I yearn to feel alive again and until then

I dream while the pale moon beams

Her light upon my weary lovelorn soul

Glo
