Lyrics
I saw you in my dreams
I don't know what this means
But I can't get you out o my mind
There are people who
Crawl inside of you
And stay with you through time
It was so long ago
I watched you walk away
So much is different now yet
So much is the same
Oh I wish you had Stayed
And now I see your face
And no one takes your place
No one touches me inside
Sometimes we live our lives
And we don't realize
Our world is built on lies
Today the sun will rise
tonight the sun will set
Our minds can compromise but
Hearts will not forget
Oh I wish you had Stayed
Now If I had one wish
I'd ask for just on kiss
before I say goodbye
Or maybe just one dance
or maybe one more chance
to have by my side
Damn these memories
They get the best of me
I don't want to remember when
But now and then my mind runs back to them an
I can feel those feelings again
Oh I wish you had stayed
I saw you in my dreams
I don't know what this means
But I can't get you out of my mind
