Lyrics

Game Size

Lay here for a moment
Just before I go to sleep
And I can't stop the memories
All those old feelings run deep

I try to keep from thinking
About the day you said goodbye
But I can't seem to stop myself
It always makes me cry

And then I always seem
To have the same old dream
Where you're lying next to me
Just like you always used to be

And when I dream
Then I'm always making love to you
And when I dream
Oh it seems so real it must be true
And when I dream
I'll give you all the love I have to give
But when I dream
How am I supposed to try to live without you here

Long Version

Lay here for a moment Just before I go to sleep And I can't stop the memories All those old feelings run deep I try to keep from thinking About the day you said goodbye But I can't seem to stop myself It always makes me cry And then I always seem To have the same old dreams Where you're lying next to me Just like you always used to be And when I dream Then I'm always making love to you And when I dream Oh it seems so real it must be true And when I dream I'll give you all the love I have to give But when I dream How am I supposed to try to live without you here I wake up in the morning And try to carry on somehow But as I'm driving in to work I wonder who's with you now I try to do my job But I can't seem to get nowhere If I could only see your face And let you know I still care... And then I always seem To have the same old dreams Where you're lying next to me Just like you always used to be And when I dream Then I'm always making love to you And when I dream Oh it seems so real it must be true And when I dream I'll give you all the love I have to give But when I dream How am I supposed to try to live without you here Every thing is crystal clear and you know I need you near To hold me all through the night until the morning And if I just close my eyes somehow I won't be so surprised If I can touch you, feel you, here with me I gotta have you now. oh baby can't you see, I need your love. And when I dream Then I'm always making love to you And when I dream Oh it seems so real it must be true And when I dream I'll give you all the love I have to give But when I dream How am I supposed to try to live without you here
