Even Better Than Dreaming


The obnoxious alarm starts a new day
Behind closed eyelids I let out a groan
The beeps and buzzes take my dreams away
As if those fantasies were just a loan

Dancing ponies flee my unconscious mind
So does investigating a dark crime
I wish that this clock were not so unkind
It is like a tangy and bitter lime

But though this alarm clock takes dreams from me
Without it I would not feel the Sun’s rays
It awakens me to reality
Even better than sleep are happy days

I smile at knowing that this is true
Because when I’m awake I can love you
