Lyrics

VERSE
Every time I see your face
I'm taken to another place
Where visions rise, of when you used to touch me.

I look around only to find
My broken hearts' unconscious mind
Deceiving me, until I wake up lonely.

PRE-CHORUS
Every night as cold descends I pray for endless sleep,
Hoping not to wake up to reality.

CHORUS
When I dream at night my heart gets lost without you.
When I dream at night I lose my self-control.
When I close my eyes you are with me,
And I can't deny it feels oh so right.
Then I wake without you...

When I dream at night...

VERSE
Every time I reminisce
My spirit soars in utter bliss
When I call to mind the times we spent together.

But daydreams end, illusions die;
As truth sets in I realize
The love we shared is in the past forever.

PRE-CHORUS
Every night as fires burn the anguish torments me.
Haunted by the darkness of lost memories.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Every little thing that I did for you means nothing now, and you've laid your blame.
Playing all those pictures in my mind - you brought me shame.

VERSE
Every time I see your face...I lose my place...Your warm embrace...
Every time I look around...Through hazy eyes...You can't be found...

CHORUS
When I dream at night my heart gets lost without you.
When I dream at night I lose my self-control.
Then I see you smile as I'm dreaming,
It's the only way I feel oh so right.
Then I wake without you...

When I dream at night.
