If I should fall, will you pick me back up
And if I should thirst will you give me your cup,
If the light slowly fades as the sun dies away
Will you hold my hand tightly and ask me to stay
Through the chapters of evening and on to the dawn
While the clouds are still dressed in the style of forlorn,
And if my eyes slowly close as I sit by the fire
Will you grant me a page from the dreams of desire.


If I should dream will you dream with me too
Until all of our moments are finally through,
I’ll stand on a bridge with the moon and the rain
And the memories of night I will surely retain,
If the shadows come closer and wrap around me
How many sweet moments will we get to see,
If I hold out my hand will you hold on so tight
Then we’ll glow as a lantern and walk through the night.


If I should awaken while you are asleep
In a dream where the seas are so dark and so deep,
I will reach down to you and bring you back to me
To embellish the image of all we can be,
And if I should fade please don’t wipe me away
For I’ll come back again at the end of the day,
Where a dream waits in silence for us to hide there
Like a lantern lit prayer at the foot of the stair.


If I can admit to the beauty of life
whether silk over skin or cutting like a knife,
It still calls out to me down the hallways of shade
Like the rainbows that hide from the storms we have made,
And if I seem to be caught with life’s tears in my eyes
Looking through its elusive vermilion skies,
It is only an illusion of one more dream scene
That I’d wiped away once from somewhere I had been…
