Catalina's Milky Way Dreams
(c) Re- Written 2024 - By The Depressed Poet, Doc Dalton
Shooting Stars and fast moving CarsRumble through the roads of my mindTick-e-ty Tock, the old sounds of the clockSay's it's almost a quarter past nine
The moons surely rising, the stars are a glidingAnd Mr. Sandman is ready to roamHurry off to bed and put your pillow under your headHe might just be visiting you tonight at homeDrifting off to sleep is such a wonderful featAdventures you'll enjoy on your ownMaking new friends on a journey to no endA secrete life that is yours all aloneDon't be afraid of those gobble lee goo'sOr those pirates drifting to sea on their boatsThere's no need to worry there just in your dreamsLike rainbow clouds and cotton candy floatsOh that sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerPlease, don't take my Dreams a wayTo see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way DreamsWe could have so much funUnder an ice cream sun and laugh our time awaySing some M & M songs the whole day longUntil we awake to brand new day
Pluto say's hey kiddo don't get out of bedAs Snakel Puss laughs and says, ah it's OKKKKKKKKPopeye yell's, were gone in a minute after I eat me spinachPoo say's all aboard my Banana Split SleighOh that Sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerWorry not Catalina, we won't take your Dreams a way
To see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way Dreams
Catalina say's, please come join me, on my Milky Way Dreams




Sometimes the hurt is a blessing in disguise,
When love was so real, it reached for the skies,
It's not just the loss that brings tears to rain,
It's the memories we hold that linger like pain.

In the silence of night, where shadows fall,
I find myself yearning, for the touch, for it all,
Thoughts racing back to those sweet, golden days,
But the sweetest of joys can lead to this haze.

Oh, the pain feels heavy but it's a sign,
Of love that was true, oh, it once was mine,
When the heart has been blessed, it knows how to ache,
It dances through memories that time cannot take.

Lost in the echoes of laughter and light,
In every sweet moment, I still feel you close by,
But emptiness whispers as I long for the past,
Those warm summer nights that went by way too fast.

I close my eyes tight, let the memories flow,
Each smile brings a tear that I can't let go,
It's the price we pay when we love that much,
To feel every heartbeat, every tender touch.

Oh, the pain feels heavy but it's a sign,
Of love that was true, oh, it once was mine,
When the heart has been blessed, it knows how to ache,
It dances through memories that time cannot take.

So here I stand lost in what used to be,
With every sweet memory, you're still here with me,
I carry the scars like a badge of the fight,
For the love that once was, I'll hold it tight.

There's beauty in sorrow, a grace in the ache,
For every good moment, I've got more to take,
So I'll count up my blessings and cherish the pain,
For it means that I loved, even if loss remains.

Oh, the pain feels heavy but it's a sign,
Of love that was true, oh, it once was mine,
When the heart has been blessed, it knows how to ache,
It dances through memories that time cannot take.

So here's to the heart that learns through the strife,
To feel the deep hurt is to have truly lived life,
And while I may miss you in the depths of my soul,
I'll carry your blessings as I learn to feel whole.
