the place where lost things go

do you ever lie

awake at night?

just between the dark

and the morning light

searching for the things

you used to know

looking for the place

where the lost things go

do you ever dream

or reminisce?

wondering where to find

what you truly miss

well maybe all those things

that you love so

are waiting in the place

where the lost things go

memories you've shared

gone for good you feared

they're all around you still

though they've disappeared

nothing's really left

or lost without a trace

nothing's gone forever

only out of place

so maybe now the dish

and my best spoon

are playing hide and seek

just behind the moon

waiting there until

it's time to show

spring is like that now

far beneath the snow

hiding in the place

where the lost things go

time to close your eyes

so sleep can come around

for when you dream you'll find

all that's lost is found

maybe on the moon

or maybe somewhere new

maybe all you're missing lives inside of you

so when you need her touch

and loving gaze

gone but not forgotten

is the perfect phrase

smiling from a star

that she makes glow

trust she's always there

watching as you grow

find her in the place

where the lost things go
