They landed on the windowsill and flew in with the breeze
Fairies from another world that no one else could see
They spread their wings and whirled about,
they preened with such finesse
Their wings were quite transparent, the color of violets

They landed on the table, they flitted through the air
They sat upon a crystal vase and smelled the flowers there
I wondered where they came from, I thought it was a dream
I watched in silent wonder at such an extraordinary scene

Such beauty I had never seen, such magical design
The fairies that were once a dream were now right here inside
They charmed me with their dances, they whispered in my ear
They sat upon my pillow and spread fairy dust in my hair

They giggled in the moonlight as they drifted in the air
Their wings would flutter softly and then they'd disappear
It seemed like only minutes, but all too soon I saw the dawn
Just as suddenly as they had come, they suddenly were gone
