Somewhere just beyond today
I reach for you in dreams
My lady of a thousand nights
tip-tioeing through my life
And though you're far away
I feel you here with me instead

Thoughts of all we shared
Daring to dream impossible dreams
as we ventured into the world of words
from silent whispers in our heads
Painting a canvas of our thoughts
of worlds that we would see

You lived in the shadows of the mighty Nile
my lady who placed her heart in my hand
With our words we painted our feelings
from deep inside what we came to know
of a love that forever grew
Across great oceans

In the silence of the night's embrace
I whisper my words across the sea
Like the echoes of tumbling waves
carried on the ocean's spray
Drifting into tomorrow
from just beyond today
