Flying Dream Lullaby

Dream by night
Wish by day
Love begins this way
Night's a friend
With love to send
Each new day
Bless your heart
Bless your soul
Let your dreams come true
Future songs
And flying dreams
Wait for you
Love, it seems
Made flying dreams
So hearts could soar
Heaven sent
These wings were meant
To prove
Once more
That love is the key

As you wish
As you will
Dream of flying starts
Love and care
The power's there
Trust your heart
Trust your heart 
 

Flying Dreams

Dream by night
Wish by day
Love begins this way
Loving starts
When open hearts
Touch and stay
Sleep for now
Dreaming's how
Lover's lives are planned
Future songs
And flying dreams
Hand in hand
Love it seems
Made flying dreams
So hearts could soar
Heaven sent
These wings were meant
To prove, once more
That love is the key
Love is the key
You and I
Touch the sky
The eagle and the dove
Nightingales
We keep our sails
Filled with love
And love it seems
Made flying dreams
To bring you home to me

Love it seems
Made flying dreams
So hearts could soar
Heaven sent
These wings were meant
To prove, once more
That love is the key
Love is the key

You and I
Touch the sky
The eagle and the dove
Nightingales
We keep our sails
Filled with love
Ever strong
Our future song
To sing it must be free
Every part
Is from the heart
And love is still the key
And love it seems
Made flying dreams
To bring you home to me
