Only In Dreams

In dreams. That's where I find you
Amidst the dusty sands of sleep
Where hearts come out to daydream
Safe from living pain so deep
In blackest night the sun comes out
In the visions of your face
And fills my soul with a happiness
No other could replace

In dreams. That's where I hold you
And taste the sweetness of your skin
I twirl your silky strands of hair
And dive my soul right in
Into the place I always find you
Calling loudly to my heart
United together we'll spend the night
Awakening only to depart

In dreams. That's where I'm with you
Where no one else exists
Where I can pour my love on you
And seize each moment as it hits
For here I am the creator
Of whatever I wish to be
Each night that wish remains the same
It's only you... and me...

In dreams. That's where I smile
My eyes so full of desire
Fluttering heart and shaky hands
For you, whom I so admire
Beneath the moon I kiss you
And gently stroke your cheek
The simplest touches are all it takes
To make my knees go weak

In dreams. That's where I bask
In the radiant light of love
That will always be as bright
As every star that shines above
And though I cannot catch them all
When I'm not sound asleep
In dreams I can take down every one
And lay them at your feet

In dreams, That's where I wait for you
To come and take my hand
To lead me down the path of hope
To help me understand
I pace around until you arrive
Looking for signs of your soul
Longing for you to bring to me
All that will make me whole

In dreams. That's where I comfort you
So you know it will be ok
To clean your wounds and heal you
From the sadness you felt that day
I'm always here to remind you
That you'll always be worth it all
And to let you know my arms will always
Catch you when you fall

In dreams. That's where I hear you
Where your passion speaks to me
Where you can say whats on your mind
And open up to me
Where we can share the moments
That each of us hold so dear
But hurry... soon the sun will rise
And our time will disappear

In dreams. That's where I lose you
Just as the night sky turns to dawn
Alarm clocks ring their death knell
And just like that... you're gone
I awaken and suffer through the day
Without you... my heart does weep
And I count down every hour
Until I get to fall asleep

In dreams. That's where we live
Amidst the dusty sands of sleep
But tonight I want to wash them away
And take the giant leap
To bring you from your sleepiness
And bring you back to life
And make you see that I'm the one
Who wants you as my wife

In dreams I cannot cuddle you
Or kiss your silky lips
In dreams I cannot hold you tight
Or place my hands upon your hips
In dreams I cannot dance with you
Or snuggle with some wine
In dreams I cannot do enough
To make you become mine.

In dreams I cannot hold your hand
Or feel your skin next to mine
In dreams I cannot keep you
Because I always run out of time
In dreams I live as I wish to awake
With you next to me in bed
So baby, please, tonight...
Will you be with me instead?

If the only place you will ever be is in dreams...
How can you expect me to want to wake up...

I love you.
