How do you hold a long held dream together?
How do you stop a beautiful dream from continually haunting you?
How do you hold that dream within your arms that encircle it?
How do you make that dream turn into a lifetime of happiness?
My love lives in a country surrounded by seas, oceans and much dry land
There are times when we are together and I hear the music of angels
Then, at times in my dream we are left far apart and my dream tears me asunder -
How do you hold a long held dream together?

How do you hold a long held dream together?
Whenever we walk through the forest that greets you with so much finery
Your face lights up and the forest animals run to walk by your side
Flowers that appear to be dormant burst open in bloom and your smile widens -
How do you hold a long held dream together?
Orchid Lady, right now you are sleeping yet my day seems to go on forever
I do not notice the sun shining brightly or the songs of excited birds
All I do is sit here and think of the wonderful moments we share; yet -
How do you hold a long held dream together?
I know you will awaken shortly and lovingly come to my side
My dream holds out its arms for you and gently pulls you into my own
But my empty room laughs and gloats at my longing for you and I sigh -
How do you hold a long held dream together?
All the while I get down on my knees and pray -
- like the days of our past I pray for the day you come back to me
I earnestly need to rekindle that magic love we so openly shared -
- please my love hold my dream in your arms for you are my life.
