DREAMS

It's hard sometimes to realise

That you are far away

Yet I never fail to think of you

At the close of day.

When each night I lay my head to rest

And loneliness fills my heart

You seem to stand beside me

And all my fears depart.

Then I am warmly comforted

To face each day anew

And to my secret world of dreams

I walk and talk with you.

It's all I have until the time

When once more you are with me

Heartaches will then turn to happiness

And dreams to reality.
