about

Did you ever have an imaginary friend?

lyrics

Goodnight Mr Pootles (for Jasper)

When I was young, I had a friend
Who came to me in my waking dream,
We’d play together when I was alone
He’d go away if I was not on my own.
Every night we’d talk about our days adventures
Before he saw me off to sleep.

Chorus
Goodnight Mr Pootles, goodnight my special friend,
Goodnight Mr Pootles goodnight, you’ll be with me to the end

As I grew older I found new friends
And no longer felt the need for you
Tho you were still there at the back of my mindIn case I called to you at any time,
But I looked elsewhere for consolation
Even as I closed my eyes to sleep.

Chorus

You are always in my mind

Now as I reach the end of my journey
I want you more than all those years ago,
And your need is greater than I could realize
It’s my thoughts that are keeping yuo alive.
The light fades slowly and darkenss beckons us
It’s calling out to me and you.
