There once was a time
When I called you mine,
And now you’re mine again,
But only when I dream.
I can still remember when
You used to say you loved me.
I can hear you say it every night,
But only when I dream.
I used to hold you in my arms
And whisper in your ear.
I’ll hold you tight again tonight,
But only when I dream.
We made plans for the future.
Marriage was our goal.
Tonight we will be man and wife,
But only when I dream.
