[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I was once the only one
To brush away your tears
If ever you are lonely
I will always be right hеre
And if you need me
You can wish upon a star
‘Cause I will always hеar
Your prayers in my heart
[Chorus]
Do you see me down here?
Talking to empty air?
In my memories of you
I’m just a little closer to
Wherever good dreams go up there
[Bridge]
I wonder where you are tonight
And are you warm and tucked in tight?
And do you ever visit me
In your memory?
[Verse 3]
People think I’m crazy
To be holding on so long
But how can I get over you
When you’re not really gone?
[Chorus]
Do you see me down here?
I'm talking to the empty air
In my memories of you
I’m just a little closer to
Wherever good dreams go up there
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I was once the only one
To brush away your tears
If ever you are lonely
I will always be right hеre
And if you need me
You can wish upon a star
‘Cause I will always hеar
Your prayers in my heart
[Chorus]
Do you see me down here?
Talking to empty air?
In my memories of you
I’m just a little closer to
Wherever good dreams go up there
[Bridge]
I wonder where you are tonight
And are you warm and tucked in tight?
And do you ever visit me
In your memory?
[Verse 3]
People think I’m crazy
To be holding on so long
But how can I get over you
When you’re not really gone?
[Chorus]
Do you see me down here?
I'm talking to the empty air
In my memories of you
I’m just a little closer to
Wherever good dreams go up there
