once in a dream i saw your face
and longed to see that smile
once in a dream i heard your voice
and wished to hear it sing to me
once in a dream you held my hand
and i begged for our fingers to be intertwined
once in a dream you kissed me
and now i plead for those lips on mine
once in a dream you said three words
and i know they changed my heart

in reality you don't notice
my eyes that stare so earnestly
in reality you don't see
that i love who you are
in reality you would never care
that i fell for you in my dreams
in reality you don't even know me
and it breaks my heart
in reality i still love you
even if you never see me there.
