Dance in My Dreams

I'll love you longer than a life will allow,

it may bend but not waiver and it damn sure won't bow.

I think back so fondly of the times that we had

I cherish the memories, both lovely and sad.

 

It's candlelit dinners with wine to no end,

it's long distance road trips with curves and with bends.

It's every adventure, it's every slow night.

It's every warm laugh and it's every cold fight.

 

Our love's everlasting, you took it with you.

I'll take it on too and I'll carry it through.

You're no longer with me or so it may seem,

but you live on forever, when we dance in my dreams.

You may be gone, but we still dance in my dreams.

You had a hell of a two-step, my partner in crime

lost in a moment and frozen in time.

I know you'll be waiting, we'll dance on again

the oceans our dance floor, our music the wind.

 

You were my girlfriend or maybe my dog.

You were some light well far out in the fog.

You were a feeling so warm in the cold

You were the lifeline I knew I could hold.

What is the difference between a memory and dream?

I'll make up the stories if it's all the true to me.

Why must we lose and then never regain?

I'll draw the pictures, to hell with the frames.

 

Our love's everlasting, you took it with you.

I'll take it on too and I'll carry it through.

You're no longer with me or so it may seem,

but you live on forever, when we dance in my dreams.

You may be gone, but we dance in my dreams.
