Is love so cruel
Am I only destined to be stuck dreaming
of you
While you're never to be dreaming
of me
We're living our lives in different times
and different places
And I would come to you
If it were my face you saw when
you dreamed
If it were my name you whispered
in your sleep
If I knew I would never have to leave
And if I could just have five minutes
or an hour or a night
If I could only tell you how far into
my life my heart has taken this dream
I've seen my feet step off of a plane
I've seen you sitting across from me
I've seen us laughing and crying and
sighing
I've seen my awkward attempt at our
first kiss
I've seen you chase and catch me under
the sheets
I've watched you under the moon that
turned into the sun and the sun back
into the moon
I've seen the plans and proposal and
wedding over looking the sea
I've seen little versions of you chasing
little versions of me
I've seen my eyes grow old watching the
eternal beauty in yours
I've seen myself die and I've seen myself
waiting for you on the other side
And I've seen the whole story over
again and again
But is love so cruel that its only real in
this dream
And never to surface as we live our lives
in different times and different places
You've filled my heart and now it
overflows
And you already live deeply and eternaly
in my heart
If only you could come and be by my side
And we could both find that love isn't
always so cruel

Is love so cruel
Am I only destined to be stuck dreaming

While you're never to be dreaming

And you already live deeply and eternaly
in my heart
If only you could come and be by my side
And we could both find that love isn't
always so cruel
