Boxed Dreams

When I was little I remember
My Nan told me if I had a dream
No matter how big or small it was
To keep it safe

So I picked a box
Painted it pretty colours
Put tissue paper inside
And wrote on top 'My Dreams'

I held it tight to my heart
And opened it up everynight
Whispered my dreams inside
As I grew up I locked it away

I found the box again today
Now all tattered and old
Tears streamed as I opened it up
There was nothing inside

Where had they gone?
These dreams Id locked away?
Theyre was so many
I felt empty inside

Or maybe One by One
You took them out
And kept them safe for me
Until the day I met you

Now I know my dreams have come true
