Sunrise by Jez Farmer
At the beginning of the day I feel
Just like a whisper in a lover’s dream
As remnants of dreams in gold rays congeal
In rushing waters of the little stream
I feel you standing there right beside me
Just like a whisper in a lover's dream
I feel your kiss touch me beneath the tree
With love and I caught in the dawn's first beam
I hear your voice in the rustling green leaves
Just like a whisper in a lover’s dream
Touching my soul as a lost thought retrieves
And my heart is lost with you as its theme
As water's reflect the rising sun’s gleam
Just like a whisper in a lover's dream
