Frederick lyrics

hi, hello wake from thy sleep

God has given your soul to keep

all of the power that burns in the flame

ignites the light in a single name

Frederick name of care

fast asleep in a room somewhere

guardian angels [line a bed]

shed their light on my sleepy head

I am a threshold yearning to sing

down with the the dancers having one last fling

here's to the moment when you said hello

come on my spirit are you ready let's go

hi hi hey hey

maybe I will come back some day now

but tonight on the wings of a dove

up above to the land of love

now I lay me down to sleep

pray the Lord my soul to keep

kiss to kiss breath to breath

my soul surrenders astonished to death

night of wonder for us to keep

set our sails channel [out] deep

after the rapture two hearts meet

mine entwined in a single beat

Frederick you're the one

as we journey from sun to sun

all the dreams I waited so long for

fly tonight so long so long

bye bye hey hey

maybe we will come back some day now

but tonight on the wings of a dove

up above to the land of love

Frederick name of care

high above in sky that's clear

all the things I've been dreamin' of

are expressed in this name of love

bye bye hey hey

maybe we will come back some day now

but tonight on the wings of a dove

up above . . .
