Analysis of Fairy Dust
Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)
Imagine for a moment,
If you will in time,
There is a little fairy dust,
Back when you were mine,
It land's upon your shoulder's,
And upon your heavy eye's,
Causing for the sleepys,
To enter undisguised,
Drifting into space,
A peasant melody,
Upon it's own will,
In perfect harmony,
Reaching out to you,
Are shadow's of deep sleep,
Reminding you my love,
I love you a heap,
Imagine for a moment,
While drifting into space,
I smile quaintly at you,
And your smiling face.
