I am Dreaming of a Place

from Lula - songs from girlhood by Louisa John-Krol

/

about

Composed early to mid 70s in primary school years, this was my first studio recording at age 10, 1976. (Two talented friends were present to record their own songs: Jenni and Amanda, still beloved.)

lyrics

‘I am Dreaming of a Place’

I am dreaming of a place,
an island faraway
a quiet peaceful world
where every little bird
has its own song to be heard
a right to live its life
a simple happy life

All is silent,
and I let my sweet thoughts wander
each minute lasts forever
the fresh air soothes my mind
this dream is full of gladness
of everlasting freedom
each creature live in peace,
in peace

The lights of the city do not please me,
though they’re grand,
I would rather see my own land
so I’ll dream of my faraway place
where all kinds of wonderful flowers bloom
sunny fields and shady forests welcome me

Rays of sunlight
find their way through leafy branches
of the forest where I wander
makes patterns on the ground
I’m so glad that I’ve found
a place to spend my time
there’ll be no lonely days
for me now
Oh la la la, la la, mmmmn, hmmn,

Ooooooo …
I’m so glad that I’ve found
a place to spend my time
there’ll be no lonely days
for me now,
now.
