[Verse 1] Towers clad in ivy, Dragons in the sky A peaceful little valley A peaceful little lie Your smile lights up the night Your kiss, a whisper of delight that will never come again [Pre-Chorus] The clock clangs loud from the corner Squeeze my eyes shut (don’t want to wake up) As it all fades away With the light of day [Chorus] It was just a dream (It was just a dream) A perfect place for you and me (for you and me) It was just a dream (just a dream) Now I face reality as I wake up [Verse 2] I reach for your hand But there’s nothing but air Cold sheets in an apartment Walls are bare I try to fall back asleep Not ready to see what the days holds for me [Pre-Chorus] I think of Towers in the moonlight The curve of your smile at twilight I see your outline under the night sky I reach for you [Pre-Chorus] The clock clangs loud from the corner Squeeze my eyes shut (don’t want to wake up) As it fades away As you fade away With the light of day [Chorus] It was just a dream (It was just a dream) A perfect place for you and me (for you and me) Where we could just be together again It was just a dream [Bridge] It was just a dream of when you loved me It was just a dream pretending I didn’t see The truth staring at me The truth that set me free falling The truth that hurts me each and every day The truth that my mind tries to change One more breath One more view Of that little valley And me with you A tears slips from my eye I know it’s time to say goodbye to that life [Instrumental interlude] [Final Chorus] It was just a dream (It was just a dream) Makes me wanna scream (I wanna scream) Falling to my knees (I’m on my knees) Trying desperately to forget you It was just a dream (just a dream) It was just a dream (just a dream) It was actually a nightmare in disguise Now your memory is a poltergeist Stop haunting me (haunting me) Stop haunting me (set me free) Leave me in peace It was make believe It was just a dream [Outro] It was just a dream (just a dream) Time to face reality (reality) Time to make a new dream without you Time to make a new dream
