Love Me



Sing to me softly and dress me in dreams
Watch me pick flowers and kneel by the streams
Follow me through the darkness of night
Wake with me to the burning of the sun's yellow light

Tell me I'm lovely and watch me go red
Kiss my nose gently while tucking me in bed
We'll dance with the moon as the bright stars stand by
We'll prance until morning when we're waved off goodbye
Listen to my voice as I call out your name
Hold my hand with love as we walk through the rain

Don't tell me my dreams aren't alive as you and me
Just tell me I'm beautiful, that's all I really need

Stay with me always, as I fall into sleep
Dreaming of happiness and wishes I keep

So sing to me softly and dress me in dreams
You're all I've ever loved and more, so it seems
