As I Held a Dream For You

The breeze passed through me as I held a dream for you, The constant chill reminded me of our last goodbye, I felt a release of energy as I recall your eyes so blue, Now is the night in which acceptance I shall try. The constant chill reminded me of our last goodbye, Forever I am bound to the memory of death’s air, Now is the night in which acceptance I shall try, Maybe I’ll relinquish all the blackness of despair. Forever I am bound to the memory of death’s air, Is it whispers of your soft voice in which I hear? Maybe I’ll relinquish all the blackness of despair, Throw out all the lunacy full of fury and fear. Is it whispers of your soft voice in which I hear? Can you taste my tears when kissed in my dreams? Throw out all the lunacy full of fury and fear, Erase my poor memories and flashes of screams. Can you taste my tears when kissed in my dreams? Oh, death isn’t fair when it’s done tragically, Erase my poor memories and flashes of screams, Maybe bring back your spirit, my love...magically. Oh, death isn’t fair when it’s done tragically, The scent of your smile lingers when I close my eyes, Maybe bring back your spirit, my love...magically, Wake up a new woman, you with me, as a surprise. The scent of your smile lingers when I close my eyes, I felt a release of energy as I recall your eyes so blue, Wake up a new woman, you with me, as a surprise, The breeze passed through me as I held a dream for you.
