As I listen to music
As I listen to music I drift away
and I close my eyes.
I drift off and imagine that you are here with me.
For that moment it is my heart is connecting to yours.
As I listen to music I close my eyes,
I dream that you are here with me.
For that moment I feel like that everything is right for me.
As I listen to music,
I start to drift away and you are here.
I open my eyes and I realize that I am alone.
I realize it is all a dream that I was in.
As I listen to music I am with you even through it is just a dream.
As I listen to music I close my eyes and drift away,
you are there waiting for me.
Then the music stops I open my eyes
I just was dreaming away again.
As I listen to music for that moment I can at least pretend it is all real.
