Wishful Thinking

Robin Davidson 1987 (Ft Collins)



Wondering to and fro
Is my feet on the floor or in the air
Swirls of colors flouting by
How did I get here is a passing thought
For I am not sure
Until this moment
Love was a dream I dreamt about.

Throwing caution to the wind
Huge steps do I take to run to you
Is my love for you equal to your love for me
Not sure am I
Kisses rain down unto your face
Is it crazy for how much I love you
Nothing else matters when I am with you
Going into the sky does my heart when I see you.
