Chapter 11

Jareth awoke. He slipped out from under Sarah and got up. He stood and looked down at her sleeping peacefully. Really she was so innocent and so young. He knew what the right thing to do was. Though it tore his heart, he knew that if he truly loved her he could wait a few more years and if she felt the same way so could she. He sang softly so as not to wake her.

"When I live my dream,

I'll take you with me,

Riding on a golden horse

We'll live within my castle,

With people there to serve you,

Happy at the sound of your voice

Baby, I'll slay a dragon for you,

Or banish wicked giants from the land,

But you will find,

That nothing in my dream can hurt you

We will only love each other,

As forever when I live my dream

When I live my dream,

I'll forgive the things you told me,

And the empty man you left behind

It's a broken heart that dreams

It's a broken heart you left me

Only love can live in my dream

I'll wish and the thunder clouds will vanish,

Wish and the storm will fade away,

Wish again and you will stand before me,

While the sky will paint an overture,

And trees will play the rhythm of my dream

When I live my dream,

Please be there to meet me

Let me be the one to understand

When I live my dream,

I'll forget the hurt you gave me,

Then we can live in our new land

Till the day my dream cascades around me,

I'm content to let you pass me by

Till that day you'll run to many other men,

But let them know it's just for now

Tell them that I've got a dream,

And tell them you're the starring role

Tell them I'm a dreaming kind of guy,

And I'm going to make my dream

Tell them I will live my dream

Tell them they can laugh at me,

But don't forget your date with me,

When I live my dream."
