Paint the walls in fairy tales,
A ceiling full of stars.
Mobiles hung in gay displays,
Above the cradle bars.
Sometimes I think I hear
Your laughter through the door.
Then I remember what
I won't hear any more.

Do you see me down here,
Talking to the empty air?
In my memories of you,
I'm just a little closer to
Wherever good dreams go up there.

I was once the only one
To brush away your tears.
If ever you are lonely,
I will always be right here.
And if you need me,
You can wish upon a star.
'Cause I will always hear
Your prayers in my heart.

Do you see me down here,
Talking to the empty air?
In my memories of you,

Wherever good dreams go up there.

I wonder where you are tonight.
And are you warm and tucked in tight?
And do you ever visit me,
In your memory?
People think I'm crazy,
To be holding on so long,
But how can I get over you,
When you're not really gone?

Do you see me down here,
Talking to the empty air?
In my memories of you,
I'm just a little closer to
Wherever good dreams go up there.
