Meadows of Heaven

I close my eyes The lantern dies The scent of awakening Wild honey and dew Childhood games Woods and lakes Streams of silver Toys of olden days Meadows of heaven x2 The flowers of wonder And the hidden treasures In the meadow of life My acre of heaven A 5-year-old winter heart In a place called home Sailing the waves of past Meadows of heaven x4 Rocking chair without a dreamer A wooden swing without laughter Sandbox without toy soldiers Yuletide without the flight Dream bound for life Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden Until I see the first star of fall I fall asleep And see it all Mother's care And color of the kites Meadows of heaven x6
