Chasing Shadows of a Dream

In the shadows where dreams fade away

Waiting for a love that can't stay

I see her silhouette in the midnight glow

A face too distant, a heart I don't know

Caught in a web of maybe and might

Chasing a star that slips from my sight

Every night I whisper her name

Lost in the echo of a love unclaimed

Hoping someday she'd turn around

But she’s never there, never found

Never gonna hold her, never gonna tell

The girl of my dreams, I know her too well

Forever the shadow, forever the ghost

Loving her distance, loving her most

Time keeps slipping like grains of sand

Dreams slipping through my trembling hands

If only I could break through the sky

To catch her gaze and never say goodbye

In quiet whispers, I still believe

One day our worlds might finally weave

But until then, I keep pretending

Loving the girl I keep on dreaming
