Wherever Good Dreams Go - Janis Ian

Paint the walls in fairy tales

A ceiling full of stars

Mobiles hung in gay display

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

I’m just a little closer to

Wherever good dreams go up there

I wonder where you are tonight

Are you warm and tucked in tight?

And do you ever visit me

In your memory?

People think I’m crazy

To keep 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
