The Dream of a Child (Song)

1.

A little lady, daisy, lies

lazily gazing at the skies

as, slowly, clouds drift overhead

like hazy daydreams through her head.

2.

Like snow white boats they float on high

reflected in pale pool blue eyes;

soft pillows she can dream upon

as she drifts off to see the sun.

Clouds like countries;

like islands in the sky;

like idle childhood days

go slowly drifting by;

clouds like castles;

caravans or ice cream;

they make me wonder if

the Summer’s just the dream

of a child.

3.

Shimmering Summer memories

tattoo my heart eternally

like beating wings of butterflies

on which, in dreams, I seem to fly.

4.

To fairy tales of yesterday

each summer that has flown away

within my heart glows rainbow bright

even upon the darkest night.

Clouds like countries;

like islands in the sky;

like idle childhood days

go slowly drifting by;

clouds like castles;

caravans or ice cream;

they make me wonder if

the Summer’s just the dream

of a child.
