In my Dreams

“In My Dreams”

Verse 1

You live in my dreams, yes, only in my dreams

My mother and my baby, just how it used to be

We walk and we talk, like time never moved on

Laughing through the memories of days that feel gone

You told me, “In time, you’ll find your way here too”

“But for now, stay strong—there’s still work for you”

I tried to believe, but some days I fall

Since you left this world… it don’t feel whole at all

⸻

Pre-Chorus

’Cause one by one, you faded from my side

And I’m still here… just trying to survive

⸻

Chorus

I’m happier in my dreams, where four is a crowd

Where I’m not alone and I can say it out loud

But here I walk a road that feels too long

With your voices in my head telling me, “Be strong”

Loneliness lingers, it don’t fade away

Stays longer than the night, longer than the day

So I close my eyes just to feel you near

In my dreams… you’re still right here

⸻

Verse 2

Mom went first, then daddy followed behind

And my child… God took her before her time

Now you’re all together somewhere I can’t go

Just a place I visit when I’m dreaming slow

Eight footprints there… but here it’s just me

Walking through the silence of what used to be

I hear you in the wind when it calls my name

But waking up without you—it don’t feel the same

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I reach for you, but you slip through my hands

Still I hold on… the best that I can

⸻

Chorus

I’m happier in my dreams, where four is a crowd

Where I’m not alone and I can say it out loud

But here I walk a road that feels too long

With your voices in my head telling me, “Be strong”

Loneliness lingers, it don’t fade away

Stays longer than the night, longer than the day

So I close my eyes just to feel you near

In my dreams… you’re still right here

⸻

Bridge

I’m jealous of heaven, they get you for life

I only had moments, now I hold them tight

But in my heart, you never leave

You’re the air I breathe when I can’t believe

And when the wind blows, I feel you again

Like it’s carrying love I don’t have to pretend

⸻

Final Chorus (Soft / Emotional)

I’m happier in my dreams… don’t wake me too soon

Where I still have you under midnight moon

But I’ll stay here living like you said to do

Holding onto love… holding onto you

Loneliness lingers, but I’ll find my way

Through every dark night into brighter days

And when I close my eyes, I’ll always see

In my dreams… you’re waiting for me
