A song that came to me while I was listening to a classical work called pachebel's Cannon in key of D.
---------------------------------------
Cannon thunder
across a sea
deep as death
bitter as fate--
swords cross,
flags fly
But I cannot die
while you wait--
If only in a dream
If only in a dream
our hearts shall
burn as one--
If only in a dream
If only in a dream
then never let the
morning come--
I promise you an end
to this weary distance
I promise you forever
by my honor burning bright
though legions bar the way
the stars of eventide
shall witness
love's true light
If only in a dream--
If only in a dream--
I shall hold you again
delighting in the fantasy.
If only in a dream--
If only in a dream--
Then I shall refuse the
thin weave of reality.
Keep reaching--
keep longing--
keep fighting for
the dream of our love.
If only in a dream--
If only in a dream--
we shall dance on
stolen moments.
If only in a dream--
If only in a dream--
I shall delight in
your fragrance.
If only in a dream--
If only in a dream--
If only in a dream--
