Do you know that you and I have wings?
Yours are so fine, so strong, and white as snow…
And mine… Well, mine are just starting to grow feathers…
But I keep hoping that they will become lovely and glow
Just like yours
You know, I often have dreams
Such strange ones but at the end of each one
I see you… Your face is turned away from the screen
Your eyes are like clear blue pools in the sun
I tell you that all my life I wanted to catch a sunbeam
At least for a few seconds… just to hold it in my hand
Close my eyes and feel its warmth on my face… on your cheeks… yes
Do you remember what it felt like to draw on the sand?
I always wanted to draw beautiful wings… maybe yours… maybe mine…
It’s so strange, isn’t it?
Sometimes, I look at the sky and wonder what it feels like to fly
At such moments, I want to become a cloud if only for a while
Just so I can feel the playful spring breeze behind my shoulders
I believe I can fly…
But flying is not impossible…
You can fly and so can I
All you have to do is believe… yes… believe
Just like a child in Santa Claus
He exists without the shade of a doubt
Don’t question, don’t wonder, don’t explain
No need… He just exists
You know…
No explanations… no doubts… no useless self-criticism
Believe me… Nobody needs them and least of all you
When the smoke clears and the sky becomes deep blue like your eyes
We remember that the road to Oz is just around the corner
Take my hand and we’ll make a turn…
We’ll stop at the traffic light and it will turn green
For us…
Yes, Gatsby’s green light…
Except this time, the story will have a lovely ending
On this bright, beautiful, sunny day
Don’t forget to bring a bouquet of smiles with you
Secured safely on the seat of your brand new Rolls-Royce
Then, the orchestra will start the music
And I will ask you to give me a taste of your quixotic nonsense
We’ll watch my dream fill your Champagne-colored airy castle
And, this time, believe me, it will come true…
Afterwards, I will watch your lovely enigmatic smile
And feel like my life is only beginning…
With lists of dreams a mile long
Yes, there’s no need to panic… you know
So many hopes and perhaps just as many foolish mistakes
Who cares? You believe in me… I know you always have
And I? I will forever remember how you helped my dream
Not melt like a crystal snowflake after a warm spell
I will forever keep your dream fastened tightly to my wings
Don’t worry… No matter what the world says, it won’t melt like wax
It will grow strong and bright like the golden sunbeam I caught today
Can you believe it? Yes, I finally caught it…
You will help me hold it, won’t you? After all, you know how…
I want to hold it just long enough so I can tell you…
Tell you how beautiful life can be and that dreams can come true after all…
We can have everything we ever wanted… only hold on to the dream
And don’t let it fall…
Then, suddenly, we’ll start believing in miracles
Yes, there are miracles and we are the magicians
Except we don’t need magic…
We already have everything we need…
Everything to make small but such incredible surprises for each other
You and I…
Yes… It’s so simple, isn’t it?
All you have to do is just believe…
