Far beyond this mortal place
My dreams of you are born
They lift me up
And carry me
Far from this place of scorn.
Once upon a yesterday
My life was filled with love
Visions of him
Filled my heart
He sent them from above.
We dreamed our dreams
And made our plans
Our lives, as one, we'd live
I gave my all and gambled it,
I had no more to give.
He took my heart, and left me there
To wonder what went wrong
He knew our love would never be
He knew it all along.
I thought our love would carry us
Through all kinds of weather
The sunny days
And storm filled nights,
Our love would hold forever.
As the thunder rolled and crashed
He turned and walked away
My teardrops fell, in unchecked streams,
I knew he'd never stay.
So as I dream my dreams of you
A love I've yet to meet
Your smiling face,
Your outstretched hand,
I rise onto my feet.
We'll walk the paths together
As I give you my heart
Accept me as I am, my love,
And never more we'll part.
For I am just a mortal
Made of flesh and bone
We'll walk this path together,
And never be alone.
