You Are There

Music: David L. Frishberg/Johnny Mandel [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
