| Now the sun is sleeping
|
| And the moon shines overhead
|
| Come magic creatures creeping
|
| Around your little bed
|
| But be not afraid my child
|
| For you are their creator
|
| Out of your dreams they’re styled
|
| As beautiful as their maker
|
| They dance about on silent feet
|
| As lightly as a feather
|
| In rhythm with the unheard beat
|
| Then bowing all together
|
| And all the while I watch you
|
| Amazed by your perfection
|
| No length I wouldn’t go to
|
| To give you my protection
|
| I wonder if you know
|
| How much you mean to me?
|
| This love that through me flows
|
| Is deeper than the sea
|
| I soar every time you smile
|
| And worry whenever you cry
|
| So here I shall stay awhile
|
| Just to be by your side
|
| But all too soon the dawn arrives
|
| And hence the spell is breaking
|
| Your creature friends must say goodbye
|
| Before you are awaking
|
| One final dance and then they’re gone
|
| Beyond this world once more
|
| The echo of their parting song
|
| Now fades out through the door
|
| Yet in their wake, birds start to sing
|
| To ease you from sleep
|
| So delay no more my young sweetling
|
| The world is at your feet |
