Verse 1
I am dreaming tonight of a world where I used to be
Where no matter what happened I knew you were, watchin? out for me.
I?m dreaming tonight of a place where I used to live,
Where the blessings I received were so much more than I could ever give.

Chorus:
And it?s dear ones, everywhere,
It?s dear ones, callin? me in the air,
And I want you to know I can feel you in my sleep,
I?m dreaming tonight of the place where two hearts meet.

Verse2
Though the miles and the decades and places all come between,
Still every time I speak I know you know what I mean.
And I know sometimes back then I did you wrong,
It?s a thing that always haunted me till you came and gave me your song.

Chorus:
And it?s dear ones, everywhere,
It?s dear ones, callin? me in the air,
And I want you to know I can feel you in my sleep,
I?m dreaming tonight of the place where two hearts meet.

Bridge:
Oh what is this thing that sometimes comes up inside?
When your crutches just break away, and your arms open wide.

Verse 3
I?m dreaming tonight of the place where I can see,
That all the hope in my life was truly meant for me.
And I?m dreaming tonight of the time where your watching is through,
When you find all the comfort and peace that was always meant for you.

Chorus:
And it?s dear ones, everywhere,
It?s dear ones, callin? me in the air,
And I want you to know, I can feel you in my sleep,
I?m dreaming tonight of the place where two hearts meet.
