Let me paint you in my mind
As I watch you sleeping there.
On the canvas of my thoughts
I see flowers in your hair.
There’s a smile upon your face
Which is seemingly aglow,
And the happiness you feel
Isn’t hard for me to show.
In the background I see stars,
And it’s you who are the moon.
It’s so lovely to behold,
But it’s finished far too soon.
