Sitting here in time,
I close my eyes, my dreams are mine
I can be today, I can be the past
I can be in a happy time
My imagination is so vast
If I just close my eyes, you reappear
I can feel your touch and you are here
If I close my eyes, you’re never gone
And I exist no longer alone
Memories and dreams are here to stay
Old & young they can be today
Like a falling star they fade away
But in my mind, I can visit any day
