A magical night

The bright leaves of autumn

    orange and red

In the lap of earth, they have

    laid out a bed

For you. Come, lie down.

A cool breeze from the hills 

    gently wafts in

Bringing with it the scent

    of sweet jasmine

To caress your soul.

And it carries up its wings

    on its way out

The burdens you bear which were

    never really yours

Just let them all go.

A little bird on your shoulder

    has come over to whisper

A silly joke in your ear to make

    a hearty smile appear

On your beautiful face.

A silver feather glides over

    and softly lingers

Over your eyelids, as if stroking

    with its smooth fingers

Your tired eyes shut.

Soon the sun takes your leave

    in the western sky

Pulls down the golden blinds

    turns out all the lights

As he tiptoes away. 

The dark soothing stillness

    of the tender night

Like a warm cozy blanket

    wraps around you tight

Drift into sleep, my dear.

In your dreams, you must look

    up the starry sky

I'll be floating in the clouds

    waving with a smile

Can you see me?

Now take my hand in yours

    lets dance through the night

With true love in our hearts

    and the stars in our eyes

Just you and I.
