Only In My Dreams

I close my eyes and there you are,
as swift as the day leaves and the night
call to me,

I open my eyes but you're not there,
just only in my dreams

I wish you were real, right here in front of me,
I would do anything if you would become a reality

So many times I just dream about you,
wishing you were here by side
needing me as I need you,

I want to be with you, loving you, touching you,
but since I can't, I'll continue closing my eyes finding 
you with me, as swift as the day leaves,
and the night calls to me

But only in my dreams...
