A moon lit night
Stars as far as the eye could see
Sweet evening coolness
Gentle thoughts of thee
Love from a distance
A pure heart and a tender soul
You were real, love was make believe
A hope to guide along the rocky path, I was to face
You were the place that I could hide and forget all cares
Laughter and delight sang in your voice
Happiness and joy were born in my soul
A world of pretend
Making believe it could be
My fairy tale love from across the sea
Knowing you helped me to believe
If just for a season
You became the reason
I could dream again
Time a distance brought reality
Then one night against a crescent moon
I tied a crimson red ribbon to my dreams
So high above did they fly
Floating to the heavens and beyond
Up, up and away
To the land were fairy tales never end
