The Bluebird of Happiness

For George

Show me the way to the place where I belong, my bluebird.

Hold my hand and take me home.

And if it ever happens that we are apart,

don't worry, I won't be angry, I won't be upset:

I will know what I was born for.

I will keep you in the safest place I know

and I'll be waiting.

'You know that place between sleep and awake,

that place where you still remember dreaming?'

That's where I'll always love you, my bluebird.

That's where I'll be waiting.
