Lyrics

When I close my eyes
I can see you
When I dream at night
I can feel you

Then you hold me til the dawn
Memories I depend upon
It's like you're not really gone

Through waves of rainbows
You come floating on a breeze
Light flowing from your hands
And reaching out for me

We talk for hours
Feel your breath upon my skin
I feel the power
Of a love that knows no end

When I close my eyes
I can see you
When I dream at night
I can feel you

Then you hold me til the dawn
Memories I depend upon
It's like you're not really gone

Did we love enough back then
To see it through?
Curse the day this world
Took me from you

So many memories weigh now
Heavy on my mind
But when I'm dreaming
Then we're happy one more time

When I close my eyes
I can see you
When I dream at night
I can feel you

Then you hold me til the dawn
Memories I depend upon
It's like you're not really gone
