Dreams

My heart lies broken deep inside
since you said you won't be my bride.
No joy. No meaning to my life.
No hope. No happiness. No wife.

     But in my dreams my hand you take
     And in my dreams my heart won't break
     So in my dreams this prayer I make
     I pray that I may never wake.

The world is greyer since you left
In shadows now I live, bereft.
No light, I walk in gloom instead
All colour from my world is fled.

     But in my dreams my hand you take
     And in my dreams my heart won't break
     So in my dreams this prayer I make
     I pray that I may never wake.

The days are longer now you've gone
each hour still sixty minutes long
each minute sixty seconds filled
each second my true love is killed.

     But in my dreams my hand you take
     And in my dreams my heart won't break
     So in my dreams this prayer I make
     I pray that I may never wake.
