But It's Only A Dream
So quick, so unexpected, asleep forever, never to open your
blue eyes again
Shock, disbelief, my mind can't accept it
Your voice us fading from my memory...
But grief washes over me like an endless waterfall;
draws me unconscious…into a sleep
I don't welcome.
Darkness, darkness like the darkness of your death
surrounds me. A light, a light in the distance;
glowing; and your smile pulls me in...
But It's Only A Dream
Only A Dream
You take my hand, holding it the way we used to;
bringing my dream "to life"
Familiar places, a town once known; the town where we met;
we are standing at the stairs of the church where we
two became one.
The apartment once shared, where he held me so close;
so tight like many years ago.
But It's Only A Dream
Only A Dream
I felt the warmth of his body drowned myself in the scent of
his neck as I nestled my head there, like so many years ago;
when love was new, love was real, love was ours;
love I let go
But It's Only A Dream
Only A Dream
My face is wet with tears as I softly tell him "I'm sorry, so sorry I left"...
my heart was pulling me one way, my fear was pulling me away;
too young to believe in my heart, so fear won and pulled me
away.
You kissed the tears from my face, telling me there was no sorry;
only love that never ended.
But It's Only A Dream
Only A Dream
The old neighborhood, oddly quiet, is where we found ourselves...
trees in full bloom, the sun so warm; hands holding each
other's tight, then arms wrapping around waists,
not letting an inch between us.
But It's Only A Dream
Only A Dream
His kisses are warm; passionate, soft; our lips sweet,
our hunger strong for each other; so strong for each other...
like it had been so many years ago; our bodies becoming
one; loving with a passion that is now only a memory for me.
But It's Only A Dream
Only A Dream
The words "I love you, I love you, I love you...
said over and over again, never wanting this moment to end
never thinking we would find each other again.
But It's Only A Dream
Only A Dream
My mind rushes forward, my eyes slowly begin to open,
the taste of this kiss still on my lips...
but I was alone in my bed; far from my old hometown...
and as a tear falls down the side of my face, I knew...
It's Only A Dream
Only A Dream
