Dream with me

dream of rainbows, Bright in the sky, 
I dream of lightning, together we cry, 

I dream of flowers, I feel such delight, 
I dream of spiders, and I scream with fright, 

I dream of fish, swimming in the sea, 
I dream of sharks, coming after me, 

I dream of lambs, frolicking around, 
I dream of wolves, Hunting, no sound, 

I dream of children, several of them ours, 
I dream of them waking, Being up for hours, 

Stay with me forever and together we’ll cope, 
Because when I dream of you, I dream of hope, 

Dream awhile with me and together we’ll see, 
Not all dreams are bad, so dream along with me
