Behind The Mask

Who is this masked man that intrudes upon my dreams?
He comes to my rescue and silences my screams.
He knows just where to find me when I am lost in the dark,
Leaves me at daybreak with a single red rose as his mark.

He holds me so gently and tenderly in his strong arms.
I could drown eternally in his captivating charm.
Wandering through the thick mist in the cold damp night,
I run from each strange sound that brings terror and fright.

Whom is this mystical man hiding behind the dark mask?
He comes to keep me safe and warm - it is his only task.
He takes my hand with love and leads me through the clouds,
Protecting me from all unseen fears with his shroud.

His gentle smile warms my soul and carries me far away.
Holding me close to him our hearts music begins to sway.
This man behind the mask he mystifies my mind.
All I see are his shining eyes that are so kind.

Who is the mysterious man that comes to my rescue?
Protecting me from the wolves - he always knows what to do.
Each night without fail, he comes here to enchant me,
Taking me above the clouds in our fantasy.

The fear in my dreams follows me through the bewitching night,
Chasing me through the depths of my sorrow as I take flight.
He reaches out and pulls me in from the dark gloom,
Each night he comes and save me from my endless doom.

The man behind the mask is the champion of my heart.
Forever safe in his embrace, I never want to part.
Bright moon beams glistening silently across the sea.
When the nighttime falls without fail, he comes to me.

He always comes to my rescue and offers protection.
Without any mistakes, he gives me love and affection.
A sparkle in his eyes and his smile so serene,
With unspoken words, we tell each other our dreams.

The man hiding behind the mask is my one dream come true,
This is the only man that my heart and love belong to.
Forever in my dreams, I am safe in his arms,
Happy and content I am showered with his charms.
