Tonight the sky is overcast
I couldn't see your star
It was then I almost panic'ed
And I wondered where you were
There are moments in my lifetime
When my passion is laid bare
My emotions run with shadows
And restlessly I dare
To taste the dreams of ventures...
In the realm of the unknown
And fly into the heavens
To finally seek a home
Where love is there awaiting me
With arms extended wide
To sit with you and ponder
Should I stay up here and ride?
I could catch the tails of comets
Ride through the Milky Way
Say "Hello" to Orion, and...
Then be on my way
Passed the planet of Venus
On to Jupiter and Mars
Dust the Cosmos with my laughter
Put more twinkle in the stars
I could swing from wings of angels
I would tickle all their feet
Tie their hair up all in tangles
Then gently fall asleep
With the wings of heavens shadows
As my dreams take me to Earth
I would waken with the laughter
Of life and all it's worth
And the freedom of my travels
That takes my thoughts to you
And the kiss of all those angels
And the love of one so true
Will stay with me forever
With this sky so midnight blue
Interspersed with diamonds
As I sit and think of you
I thank the world for all that's good
As I pray with all my might
I can hear your laughter echo
As it touches me tonight.
