Drowning in a sea of teddy bears
Arms and legs akimbo everywhere
Snuffling and snorkelling in the sea of fluff
Fast asleep in mounds of stuff
A lumpy duvet collected by your head
As pillows have fallen from your bed
You slumber into a world of dreams
Where nothing is quite as it seems
Never knowing who lurks by the door
Watching you and listening to your sleepy snore
Sighing as they know so well
That soon adulthood will cast its spell
And you won’t be like that in a year or three
Because that is how it’s meant to be
You’ll grow up and leave this place
To go off into the world your dreams to chase
And you will be the one by the door
Watching your children as they snore
And seeing them go and chase their dreams
Because this is the way of life it seems
