As I watch the setting sun
I feel you drawing near
Your voice is just a whisper
But soon you will be here.
As twilight turns to night time
You suddenly are there
Your eyes intense and knowing
The starlight in your hair.
You hold my hand so tightly
So comforting and warm
We walk the lane together
Not noticing the storm.
We stop beneath a street lamp
You take me in your arms
And tell me that you love me
And taunt me with your charms.
Your kiss is soft and tender
My breath is swept away
I love you oh so keenly
If only you could stay.
We hold each other ‘til the dawn
When you will leave again
I cry to you, “Please do not go!”
But know it’s all in vain.
The sun begins to rise once more
I cling to you and cry
Watching as you fade away
And hating our goodbye.
Yes, I know you’re only make believe
I’ve known it from the start
But even though you are not real
You live within my heart.
