Taylor's Tale

There is an old, old story
all children need to know
about the majik llama, Night Sky,
and the places she can go.

She can take you anywhere
anytime you're scared or blue
and help you find an answer
to whatever troubles you.

Just close your eyes up tightly
and whisper Night Sky's name,
soon you'll feel her warm, sweet breath
and see she's very tame.

She'll kush right down beside you -
be brave and climb aboard
and off she'll fly to the ancient land
where fairie dust is poured.

You'll learn you have a secret name
and friends you seem to know,
it's such a great adventure
you'll really want to go.

You'll meet up with Lord Willy,
a handsome elf is he,
and then you'll greet Meralda,
a princess of the sea.

And as the sun starts to rise
you'll have to go on home,
but Night Sky can come again
so the two of you can roam.

Just give her a morning hug
and let her fly away
because she eats only tiny stars
instead of oats and hay.

When bedtime comes 'round again
just whisper out her name
and take another trip to lands
where nothing is the same.
