Evening shadows deepen
Twilight settles on the ground
It's in the air and everywhere
Winding this day down
And I notice that you're yawning
It's nearly time for bed
You're sitting still and looking
For a place to rest your head
There must've been a thousand themes
And plots you planned at play
With Peter Pan in Neverland
Keeping pirate ships at bay
You'd like to fight off sleepiness
If you could find a way
But dreams are drifting 'round your feet
It's been such a busy day
Come sail away with me
On a slip of that silvery moon
Breathe in the lazy breezes
Of a gypsy-flowered June
We'll leave our cares behind us
Float away on a big red balloon
And I'll make-believe for a little while
You won't sail away too soon
I've watched you as you've been growing
Did you know that I saw you out there
Shooting baskets through a rusty hoop
Practicing hang-time in the air
I've seen you run through the garden
Tilting windmills in the corn
How did the days pile up so fast
Since that morning you were born
You can sail away on the sea
In a ship made of paper and twine
On the winds of imagination
Set a course of your own sweet design
Chart anywhere you care be
Choose any destination and time
And I will smile as the seasons change
Feeling blessed just to know you were mine
