I close my eyes, and there you are,
Smiling like you never left too far.
Holding me like time stood still,
Filling spaces nothing will.
But then the sun begins to rise,
Fading pictures from my eyes.
I reach for you, but you’re not there,
Just empty sheets and morning air.
Stay in my dreams, don’t fade away,
At least in sleep, you feel the same.
Even if morning takes you far,
Tonight, I’ll meet you where you are.
The quiet nights, they bring you near,
Soft illusions crystal clear.
For just a while, you’re here to stay,
Until the dawn takes you away.
Maybe dreams are all we’ve got,
A secret world where time forgot.
If I can’t have you in the day,
Then in my dreams, please let me stay.
