don't wake me up

I'm a magic kind of girl

I love fairytales
I revel in mystery
I hate when a story pales
I believe that is true misery

magic holds a wondrous beauty
one I wish would never end
a nod and a wink are truly
a game that back and forth I send

I love my games
I love my fantasies
I will be wild till someone tames
my wondrous dreams

when things change
I regret my decisions
it feels odd and strange
to be put in these situations

the magic leaves
all whimsy is gone
In a book I flip sheaves
for a magic ending long gone

I don't want the game to end
I prefer it this way
from a distance I will send
a smile to soothe your day

And so I will go on
dreaming and wishing
I'll have all good fun
and my soul will be singing

It's all I ever want
to be allowed to dream
my awakening cannot be abrupt
I must float down a stream

Reality is too harsh
I don't want to face it
Please don't wake me up
Sleeping Beauty couldn't bear it.
