I See You In My Dreams

Are you a figment of my imagination or are you for real
Do you dream like me and feel the things I feel
My head hits the pillow is it your face that I see
I wonder if I’m in your dreams and how you see me

I hear your voice around me can’t get you out of my head
Wonder if you dream of me or someone else instead
Lie there dreaming of the things we’d do and say
Then realise the alarm is ringing and it’s the start of a brand new day

A bit of fantasy can start the home fires a burning. Make your husband's fantasy come alive and you will be the benefactor. Us men love surprises.
