Dreaming: Risk of the Familiar
Understand the woman in me,
Like I love the man in you.
I need your strong arms around me,
Till my dreams and the night are through.
I need you close beside me,
All things now become new.
Confusion there in shadows.
Attempts to cloud my view,
And once again I risk familiar thoughts,
To find what's true.
A heartache caught me,
Looking up and seeing lights.
The tears could not keep them,
Beyond my sight.
I reached out a hand to touch,
The jewel within my grasp,
With a silent prayer of hope,
Still reeling from the last....
This flight, too, will pass.
At night I dream of oceans green
And violet ribbonned sky
And places I have only lived
In another time gone by....
And I dream of you....
In most familiar ways.
The kindness in your eyes,
The tenderness in your hands,
The way your smile lights up a room,
And the truth and calmness,
Inside your voice.
When you say, "I understand"
Understand the woman in me,
Like I love the man in you.
I need your strong arms around me,
Till my dreams and the night are through
