In my perfect dreams my youngest son is alive

There is once again hope for which to strive

Only the good happen to survive

That love in my heart will again revive,

In this perfect dream realm there is hope

Around my neck there’s no tightening rope

I no longer have to stumble on a slippery slope

It’s much easier in the dream world to cope,

In this dream utopia there’s no misery

The cool winds have washed away sad memories

On a sail boat with calm waters for me

A magic carpet ride can’t you see?

Tossing and turning in the depth of the night

But my dream world will make it alright

My sorrows will be temporarily out of sight

Where my loving woman will be holding me tight,

Sometimes if I could only sleep forever

Such a fantasy a noble endeavor

Back in time to a girl named Heather

Where there’s no need to worry about the weather,

Where meaningful music is everywhere

Where I can drift without a care

No longer wearing clothes that are thread bare

Dear Lord, are you there?

In my perfect dreams it’s all as it seems

Sharing cookies and cream

An end to all draconian regimes

My darkness illuminated by silvery moon beams.
