Here I sit by my window and I see,
Every breeze that blows might bring you back to me.
For I can't live with just a shadow of the truth,
And we both know that dreams make kings out of fools.

In this sad and surreal place in my mind,
I need your love to help me feel and help me find.

That I can fly away in the night and be with you
Even if my dreams don't come true.
I'm soaring on the wings of a new day,
Please don't wake me up I pray.

I remember when the colors looked so bright,
Now my world passes me by in black and white.
And I fear my eyes will never ever see
You the way you are when we're floating in my dreams.

In this solitary place in my mind,
I need your love to help me heal this heart of mine.

So I can fly away in the night and be with you,
Even though my dreams can't come true.
I'm soaring on the wings of a new day,
Please don't wake me up I pray.

Behind the Song:
"Dreams are powerful. They can make kings out of fools, victors out of victims, and sometimes perfect relationships out of not-so-perfect ones. This is a song not so much about love lost, but about love that never had a chance." - Francesca Battistelli
