nighttime slows
raindrops splash rainbows
perhaps someone you know
could sparkle and shine
as daydreams slide
to colour from shadow
picture the moonglow
that dazzles my eyes
and i love you
just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time
now you’re crying in your sleep
i wish you’d never learnt to weep
don’t sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time
dream of sights
of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons
can make you decide
as leaves pour down
splash autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden
their moonlit delights
and i love you
just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time
now you’re crying in your sleep
i wish you’d never learnt to weep
don’t sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time
post
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there’s stardust in my head
pure and simple every time
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
i’ll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
if love’s the truth then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes
i’ve found a place i’ll never leave
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth i realize
not a stream of pretty lies
to use us up
and waste our time
lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time
now you’re crying in your sleep
i wish you’d never learnt to weep
don’t sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time
post
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there’s stardust in my head
pure and simple every time
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
i’ll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
pure and simple just for you
