Softly In My Dreams.

Do you know the pains of loving
someone you can't be with?
But in your heart you wish them always
every happiness and joy that life can bring.

To be so in love, so much
longing every single day,
for every waking minute
and with every breath that I take.

Unrequited love is a choice that
I have made, for I will love no
other so deeply and unconditionally
without bounds, without yielding up to pain.

My melancholy dreams of
a life so very far away,
misty visions, cool blowing winds and
echoes of your sweet voice come drifting to me.

When all is said and done,
you go your way,
my heart you would break,
but nothing would change for me.

All I have are dreams to keep,
these dreams I seek,
these dreams so deep,
they will stay with me.

These feelings deep inside,
I have nothing to hide,
please stay by my side,
come softly to me.

Tomorrow with it's sunrise will make
no change to my hopes and my dreams,
even should death come knocking;
my feelings for you would always remain.
