Night Solitaire

I curl up under a blanket
And I begin to fall asleep
And in my dreams you're always there
It is in this twilight
Between walking life and fantasy
That I see your beauty fair
My eyes open to twinkling lights
But when they close again
I can reach out and touch your hair
Something stirs once more
And I slip awake again
To feel the cold and empty air
So with another blanket
I summon up my dreams
To let my senses become aware
To feel your body close to mine
To smell you once again
A sensation without compare
And pray this dream will last
Until the break of dawn
To escape night solitaire
