Golden Meadow Dream (Trijan Refrain)

Trijan Refrain

If love is what you're looking for
It's in this heart of mine
you are the one I will adore
Until the end of time
I'll wait for you to come to me
When the stars are shining brightly
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
I will always be your lady

Falling forever in loves embrace
Under mellow moonlight
Luminous beams light up your face
To fulfill passion's night
Hold me tight now don't let me go
Being together hearts aglow
Hold me tight now
Hold me tight now
Alone in a golden meadow

Waking realizing just a dream
Your gone no longer here
My joy replaced with silent screams
On my pillow a tear
Please come for me take me away
To a place where you'll always stay
Please come for me
Please come for me
Can't live without you one more day
