Footsteps on the Ceiling

I write songs for Lee Ann, my lovely long-suffering wife, usually around the Christmas holiday time so that I can have an extra present for her. It's something of a tradition, with the occasional substitution of a poem or a set of poems. I wrote this one, I think, last year--maybe the year before, but I really do like it and I think if you stretch your imagination a little the way it scans does suggest a melody. Add your own to

Footsteps on the Ceiling
by Scott Merrick

I had a dream last night
You were holding me tight.
It was our very first night
Everything was all right.

Footsteps on the ceiling above
No one said the words "I love
you."

I awoke with a feeling.
My senses were reeling.
My world was healing.
Everything was me and you.

Footsteps on the ceiling above
No one said the words "I love
you."

I want to dream tonight
I am holding you tight.
It's our very first night,
and everything's all right.

Footsteps on the ceiling above
I look at you and say  "I love
you."

I had a dream last night
You were holding me tight.
It was our very first night
Everything was all right.

Footsteps on the ceiling above
No one said the words "I love
you."
