[Intro]
When I pass by a window, will I see you and me
In the cold blue reflection of my almost too real dream?
Or am I just some passing earthly scheme?
You were my reality
Or will you be there too,
Just like you wanted to?
Not a page left unchanged, no more plans to be made
Am I still awake?
[Verse 1]
In the evening,
When the kettle's on for tea
An old familiar feeling settles over me
And it's your face I see
And I believe that you are there
[Verse 2]
In a garden,
When I stop to touch a rose
I feel the petal soft and sweet against my nose
I smile and I suppose that somehow maybe you are there
[Chorus]
When I'm dreaming,
And I find myself awake without a warning
And I rub my eyes and fantasize
All at once, I realize it's morning
And my fantasy is fading like a distant star at dawn
My dearest dream is gone
I often think there's just one thing to do
Pretend the dream is true
Tell myself that you are there
[Chorus (x2)]
When I'm dreaming,
And I find myself awake without a warning
And I rub my eyes and fantasize
All at once, I realize it's morning
And my fantasy is fading like a distant star at dawn
My dearest dream is gone
I often think there's just one thing to do
Pretend the dream is true
And tell myself that you are there
[Outro]
Has our time come to end?
Will I see you again?
In a book of our lives, yours is not as long as mine
I am still awake
