Hopes, Dreams, Wishes

In my heart, there are hopes... there are dreams...
There are wishes... but sometimes it seems...
They are just visions, of a time that cannot be...
Slipping through my fingers, washing away in the sea....

A ray of light, a sliver of faith
Here I sit, there I wait...
I look through the rain, wanting to find
A heart's desire, begging fate to be kind

Time away, it moves so slow
Time apart, it just just seems to grow
It's so unjust, it's just not fair
I just want to laugh, I just want to share

Wish upon a star, dream upon a dream
Wishes to be filled, slipping away in the stream
The deepest desire, the love that I hold
The thoughts that we share, chase away all that's cold

The distance so far, the miles so wide
When all that I want, is to be by your side
It seems so far, so far away
But my love is with you, every hour, each day

For you are my rainbow, you are my light
You are my promise, my dreams of the night
You are my world, when all seems to be dark
You are my beacon, the flame from the spark.
