Velvet Dreams

I close my eyes and there you are So close to me yet still so far In velvet dreams you hold me near And whisper softly in my ear Velvet dreams Nothing is what it seems You're slipping through my hands like sand I don't understand Why I keep dreaming velvet dreams Velvet dreams Nothing is what it seems You're slipping through my hands like sand I don't understand Why I keep dreaming velvet dreams Each night I pray you'll come again To take away this lonely pain But morning steals you from my bed And leaves me with your ghost instead Velvet dreams Nothing is what it seems You're slipping through my hands like sand I don't understand Why I keep dreaming velvet dreams Velvet dreams Nothing is what it seems You're slipping through my hands like sand I don't understand Why I keep dreaming velvet dreams
