Somewhere in the heart of June
One hazy summer afternoon
Hannah slept in summer's breeze
Suspended beneath the cottonwood trees
And in those times it always seems
Her life becomes a world of dreams
Half asleep and half awake
On the hill by Crystal Lake
Time and tide did all stand still
Beneath the trees, up on the hill

Half awake her fluttering eye
Watched as a butterfly flew by
Dancing on the summer's breeze
Dancing in between the trees
Here and there, to and fro,
Hannah watched the Monarch go
Then in a moment it did make
Its way down to the Crystal Lake
Landing on a leafy stem
Then fluttering away again
Hannah watched it fly away
On that hazy summer day.

Then before her sleeping eyes
A fearsome dragon did arise
Across the breadth of Crystal Lake
Its tail did make a mighty wake.
It reared its head and made a roar
Then rustled its wings a little more
The breeze from its wings stirred Hannah's hair
But Hannah did not seem to care
She waived her hand as if to say
"Oh dragon, please, just go away."
So it swept its wings to fly
And rose into the azure sky.

So came along the Queen of Hearts
(The one who made those famous tarts!)
Seeing Hannah on her swinging bed
Turned and screamed "Off with her head!"
But Hannah looked the other way
And in a sleepy voice did say
"Oh silly Queen, go back to your palace
I think you want a girl named Alice!"
So the Queen did vanish with a poof
Without the sound of horses hoof
She vanished into the summer's air
Leaving Hannah lying there
Suspended beneath the cottonwood trees
Gently rocked by summer's breeze

Suspended beneath the cottonwood trees
Stirred by gentle summer's breeze
Atop the hill by Crystal Lake
Hannah dreamed and did not wake
To see the hawk circling high
Rising in the azure sky
Gliding on the summer's breeze
Above Hannah and the cottonwood trees

Hannah deep inside her dream
Was floating in the air it seemed
With a dragon and a gossamer swan
Alongside the cloud she drifted on
Over the hill and cottonwood trees
She floated on the summer's breeze
'Ore Crystal Lake and Garden Wall
'Ore Rolling Stream, above them all
She drifted here and drifted there
Floating in the summer's air
Floating to and floating fro
Soaring high and gliding low
Until at last she floated down
With golden sun shining all around
Into the hammock beneath the trees
Swing in the summer's breeze
Hannah slept the day away
On that hazy summer's day
