Story Behind The Song

Unlike most of my songs, the verses came first here. Using essentially the same chord structure, the chorus filled in with the lyrical hook at the beginning. It came as a natural product of the verses and I was surprised to discover I could bookend the hook in the chorus with a double entendre.

Song Description

Love is rediscovered. But is it for real?

Lyrics

You fly like an angel
You fall like rocks along a mountainside
Land in my garden
Where you stay the night

I watch you sleeping
I feel you drift into another world
You reach out and touch me
Again my fire starts to burn

(Chorus 1)
Are you only dreaming
Or are you here with me
Is your soul entwined with mine
Or is this just a passing scene
Have you moved beyond the things we've said and done
Do you really know I'm sorry
You say you're ready now to believe in me
And you can love me again
But are you only dreaming

We lie in my garden
The blossoms shimmer in the morning light
I kiss your head
And you close your eyes

(Chorus 2)
Are you only dreaming
Or are you here with me
Are you only dreaming
Or is this reality
Have we moved beyond the things we've said and done
Do you really know I'm sorry
You say you're ready now to believe in me
And you can love me again
But are you only dreaming

(Bridge)
Yes I have a foolish heart
That can lead me to places I shouldn't go
But I've found what it's been looking for
All I want is to know

(Chorus 3)
Are you only dreaming
Or are you here with me
Is your soul entwined with mine
Or is this just a passing scene
Have we moved beyond the things we've said and done
Do you really know how I feel
You say you're ready now to believe in me
And you can love me again
But are you only dreaming

You say you'll love me again
But are you only dreaming
