Remnants of a Lullaby

There was a time, now far away
 That now belongs to yesterday
 But late at night if you believe
 There are still parts you can retrieve
 Beyond our memories
 Past where the eyes can see
 Well disguised
 Waiting there, dream devised
 Safe from time's endless reach
 Everything a child can teach
 What to keep, what to save
 When to dare an ocean's wave
 There among life's memories
 Remnants of a lullaby and thee
 ♪
 There was a time, now long before
 We found a way to close each door
 But in our minds through labyrinths deep
 Late in our lives, those doors we seek
 And in our fantasies
 We try to find the keys
 Reach the stairs
 Follow them, each to where
 Scattered there on the ground
 Everything lost is found
 Wished on coins, childhood wings
 Carousels still turning
 Waiting there patiently
 Remnants of a lullaby and thee
