Only When I Dream - Roxette, Per Gessle

To everyday there’s a history

To every love that’s lost there is tragedy

I saved the vision of you in my head

I watched a new universe being born raised in breath

In the calm of my bed

Some might say it’s over now

I don’t believe them

If I only got to you

I’d prove them right

Only when I dream

I hear you, I’m near you

I hold you close to me

Only when I dream

I touched you and I breath you

I feel you deep inside me

Things were never easy for me

And the temple we built stayed sacred and free

I came looking for more self-esteem

All I found was your voice on the answering machine

Simple and clear

Some might say it’s truthful gone

I don’t believe them

If I could only talk to you

I’d prove I’m right

Only when I dream

I hear you and I’m near you

I hold you close to me

Only when I dream

I touched you and I breath you

I feel you deep inside me

I tried to catch a butterfly

I tried to make a summer sky

Heal me

Rain exploded in my face

Seems to fade without a trace

Heal me

Only when I dream

I hear you and I’m near you

I hold you close to me

Only when I dream

I touched you and I breath you

I feel you deep inside me
