Share my pillow - share my dreams

The void you left is dark and wide
Your presence is no more,
So come to me in dreams sweetheart
I'll leave an open door.

Speak to me my sweetheart
In whatever way you can,
Break this silent nightmare
Bridge this unlit span.

Smile for me my sweetheart
That smile so broad and wide,
Ease the pain within my heart
And make the tears subside.

Hold me close my sweetheart
Let me stroke your hair,
Let me kiss you better
Let me know you're there.

Laugh for me my sweetheart
Lighten this dismal strife,
Remind me how your crazy ways
Brought sunshine into life.

So rest your head my sweetheart
Come share this pillow of mine,
Whisper those words I need to hear
To let me know you're fine.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
