still in my heart this I say
as I close my eyes and drift away
slowly I feel your touch once more
I hear your heart beating like before

in a dream so real, I wished I stayed
like a character in a show that I once played
it started with laughter and a few cheers
nothing else mattered when I had you near

you said your lines and I believe it was real
got me in so deep with everything I feel
but as the show went on it all turned sour
the curtain closed down in the final hour

you took a bow, as I walked away
then woke up this morning with a smile today
to think that it was all fabricated in my mind
what I once was seeking, now I find

the truth hurts, so I must accept
now live life where there is no regret
our time is short, we don't have lots
joy will be found, when the madness stops
