Dream sequence #4

She stares up at the stars when
The stars fell from her hair then
I bent down to collect them
And then she was gone

Oh, I sleep just to dream her
I beg the night just to see her
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms
...
I know I'll miss her later
Wish I could bend my love to hate her
Wish I could be her creator
To be the light in her eyes*

Crazy Dreams

When will I wake up?
Escape from this crazy dream
Maybe tomorrow
I'll find a better dream for me

The shiver in my soul
Whoa I think I'm gonna go
But in the depth of my mind
There's a place that only I have seen
Will it ever be reality*

The lover in my dreams

You're only just a dreamboat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
And moving from within
It clutches at my breast

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep*

A week of dreams

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ... *

Feliz Cumpleaños America!

Our America
by Big & Rich
featuring Gretchen Wilson & Cowboy Troy

We the people of the United States
In order to form a more perfect union
I have a dream, a dream that one day
We hold these truths to be self evident
That all men are created equal and
They are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights
And that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming

I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America

Whose bright stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fights
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming

And to the Republic for which it stands
One nation, under God

And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there

Indivisible

Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave

With liberty and justice for all

O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave

Sure! But I'm going to need an itinerary first

Come Away With Me
by Norah Jones

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

And I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come?

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

Holy sadness Batman

He was crazy of course
From the first she must have known it
But still she went on with him
And she never once had shown it
And she took him off the street
And she dried his tears of grieving
She listened to his visions
She believed in his believe-ins

Oh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star
She was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible
But, she could make them holy

He was dancing to some music
No one else had ever heard
He'd speak in unknown languages
She would translate every word
And then when the world was laughing
At his castles in the sky
She'd hold him in her body
Till he once again could fly

Oh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star
She was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible
But, she could make them holy*
