(Repeat Twice at Beginning & After Every Verse)]

You lie on my shoulders when I’m dreaming,

You run to my heart when I awake…

Night paints a world where we are never leaving,

A love no sunrise can ever break.

You live… you live in my dreams tonight,

Holding me close till the morning light —

If this is illusion, don’t wake me apart…

For you are the dream inside my heart.

You came like a whisper through starlight air,

A vision too tender to name;

If dreams are the doorway where you appear,

I’d sleep just to see you again.

Daylight denied what my soul longed to feel,

But night turned sorrow to art;

For there in the silence your shadow would steal

All the pain from my heart.

Moments I saw you in waking hours

Faded like mist in the blue;

Yet dreams built gardens of endless flowers

Every night shared with you.

If life were only the world I see,

We’d live forever apart;

But dreams write stories where you and me

Are never worlds apart.

Oh… if the dawn steals you away,

Still I’ll wait for the fall of night —

For the moon knows the road to your arms,

And leads my heart to your light…

(Piano run + String swell)

Cruel seems love in the light of day,

Distant and out of my reach;

Yet night returns you in gentle sway

Closer than words can teach.

Others may long for a love unseen,

Searching the dark alone —

But heaven has written you into my dreams…

A love that is mine to own.

You lie on my shoulders when I’m dreaming,

You run to my heart when I awake…

Night paints a world where we are never leaving,

A love no sunrise can ever break.

You live… you live in my dreams tonight,

Holding me close till the morning light —

If this is illusion, don’t wake me apart…

For you are the dream inside my heart.

(Fade with Piano + Humming)
