I held you in my arms; And danced with you past midnight Beneath the twinkling stars. It was a night unlike no other, Sweet music filled the air; We both were touched with magic Our love was everywhere. The world stopped its rotation As I gazed into your face; Aware only of your beauty, Becoming lost in our embrace. When the night at last was over, I tiptoed to my bed; Still swaying to the music, Softly playing in my head. Awakening before daybreak, My arms reached for you; I found myself alone again, Not certain what was true. I could not have imagined, The joy upon your face; Your heart so full of laughter, In that perfect time and place. I ran back to the castle, Our haven in the skies; And found that it had vanished, Like the hope within my eyes. When at last I found you, My heart was so relieved; You said, "The dream is over, And should not be believed." Within that screaming silence, A shadow crossed your face; No longer lit with happiness, Yet no tear left it's trace. So humbly did I back away, Unsure now what to feel; No longer knowing what was false, From what had seemed so real. Should you ever look for me, Just close your sad, dark eyes; I'm dancing in the moonlight, In our castle in the sky. In silence forever, waiting As painful as it seems; Still listening to the music of... Our once upon a dream.
