Just a Dream

A dream befriends a dreamer in the night
a song, a singer under stage-light
a wish, a child, a promise made,
and I know that I’ll fade
for all is transitory here
and all is love, and all is fear
and what my hands have left undone
and all that I’ve only begun
will last as long as anything.
I swore I sang
but just a dream
it seems.
