"When the Trees Grew Tired"

One day, I saw you in a crowd of,
familiar strangers, and a
single spotlight shone on you.

The fire burned into the night,
and when the autumn twilight faded,
you took me to your room.

In one day my life had changed,
oh, how wonderful it became,
i'd take the bad, just to have the good, and be with you.

The stars, they smiled at us from above,
after the sun had gone to sleep.
That's when the leaves grew tired of green.

But that night I wouldn't sleep.
For I couldn't close my eyes.
So filled with ecstasy, I finally willed myself to dream.

I dreamt of you, standing infront of me,
smiling, always smiling.
Enchanted, in a dream so heavenly.

That living dream, autumn air i breathed,
that day in between, the summer heat,
and the tired trees, who sighed and shed their leaves.
