Lyrics

I thought I saw you smiling
Out of the corner of my eye
As I ran to embrace you
I only hugged the sky

(chorus)
It?s only a dream
Is it only a dream?

I thought I heard your laughter
Floating through the air
As my heart rose to meet it
It was greeted with despair

(chorus)

(bridge)
You?re not really here
You?re not really there
I promise I?ll meet you
back in the atmosphere


I thought I felt you standing
Proudly at my side
As your presence overwhelmed me
It pulled away like the tide

(Chorus)
