Title: "Just a Dream" [Intro – soft piano & ambient Rhodes] Mmm… Ooh, yeah It felt so real… [Verse 1] Saw you in the hallway, light was soft and gold You smiled like the years hadn't taken their toll Letterman jacket, that old familiar walk Heartbeats syncing like we used to talk We laughed like nothin’ ever changed In that moment, you remembered my name Hands brushed, and time slowed down We were lost, but somehow found [Chorus] But it was just a dream, baby Woke up to the morning light, alone again You were only mine when I was sleeping Felt your touch and then— It faded like a melody Floating out the window with the breeze Guess some loves only live In dreams… [Verse 2] We danced in the gym where the lights would flicker The way you held me, couldn’t be slicker You said all the things I wanted back then Like “I should’ve seen you, I should’ve been” Every word was sweeter than wine In that world, you were finally mine But pillows don't lie, and mornings don’t wait The truth hits harder when the dream’s that great [Chorus] 'Cause it was just a dream, baby Woke up with your name still on my lips Reality don’t write love like this Felt your heartbeat then— It vanished in a sigh Like stars melting from the sky Guess some loves only live In dreams… [Bridge – soft breakdown, vocal runs] Ohhh, maybe in another life We’d be more than a kiss in the night But I’ll hold that dream close Where you never let go... [Final Chorus – soft + airy vocals] Just a dream, baby But I’ll sleep a little longer just to see That high school love, the way it used to be Even if it fades again You’re the sweetest part of sleep Guess some loves only live… In dreams… [Outro – ambient fade out] Mmm… Only in dreams... Would you like a melody demo or chord progression to go with this?
