candy coated dream

a candy coated dream

with parks and trees and figurines

and her arms wrapped 'round my sleeve

with tiny steps and eyes of green;

toy guitar that's out of tune

eyes fixed on morning time cartoons

and by the lantern of the moon

i will dream of a love like you

and will you hang up high

a family portrait smile

will you kiss my child

as she is dancing now;

this figure i will frame

a life without a name

but this thought i proclaim

i'm just romancing now

i'm only chancing now

a candy coated dream

with hearts and string and angel wings

and her life will fall between

the cracks that follow you and me

and will you hang up high

a family portrait smile

will you kiss my child

as she is dancing now;

this figure i will frame

a life without a name

but this thought i proclaim

i'm just romancing now

i'm only chancing now
