I lay awake at night looking up into the darkness
Flashes of our time together keep me dreaming
Wondering if you too lay awake dreaming into the darkness
Walking on that beach listening to the waves crash ashore
The night air is cool, and the stars are bright
From the darkness a light shines
Walking toward me... it's you
Your white gown flowing in the wind, the night air caressing your face
I take you in my arms, I found you
You look up at me with those beautiful brown eyes
Saying the words that echo in the wind:
"My love for you is everlasting."
I hold you tight as the wind cries out and dies, the waves fall in silence
You look up at me and whisper my name...
I open my eyes to find myself alone
Sitting up asking out loud"
"Was it just a dream?
Throwing the sheets back I freeze...
I smile as I see the sand laying at my feet

I lay awake at night looking up into the darkness
Flashes of our time together keep me dreaming
Wondering if you too lay awake dreaming into the darkness
Walking on that beach listening to the waves crash ashore
The night air is cool, and the stars are bright
From the darkness a light shines
Walking toward me... it's you
Your white gown flowing in the wind, the night air caressing your face
I take you in my arms, I found you
You look up at me with those beautiful brown eyes
Saying the words that echo in the wind:
"My love for you is everlasting."
I hold you tight as the wind cries out and dies, the waves fall in silence
You look up at me and whisper my name...
I open my eyes to find myself alone
Sitting up asking out loud"
"Was it just a dream?
Throwing the sheets back I freeze...
I smile as I see the sand laying at my feet
