Cloud Sleeper

I dream every night
Of you and I
Me on the ground
And you in the sky

The pale evening hues
Resound off your hair
You look so peaceful
As you slumber, midair

You're asleep way up high
On those silky, white clouds
But you don't need to worry
I am there on the ground

Ready to catch you
If you should fall
Listening intently
For when you should call

You tell me you need me
And you wish I was near
In an instant I answer
"I'll always be here"

I say, "Close your eyes
And don't be afraid"
Then you drift back to sleep
And the memory fades
