"There's A Joy"

There's a joy that comes at night fall
When the world retreats at last
You can hear the day bird's last call
While the light is failing fast.

There is time for some reflection
To look back or straight ahead
Perhaps find some new direction
Just before you go to bed.

Then in dream your hopes, your wonders
Silent rhapsody, Your heart
Free to go where your true love is
Until the dawn, never part.

Silent, soft caught in love's embrace
Hold the moment in your arms
Watch the smile, on your lover's face
Enfolded there safe from harm.
 

 For dreams fill up the empty space
That dawn's bright light uncovers
That true lovers still leave traces
In warmth beneath their covers.
