as we sat together on the beach side by side
watching the sunset continue to hide
i cast a quick, sneak glance at your way
wishing we could stay like this day after day
there i was sitting beside the man of my dreams
to me we looked perfect, the perfect team
what could you have seen in me, an ordinary girl?
i was far from perfect or as pretty as a pearl
funny how things turn out to be
among all the other girls, you came and loved me
now here i am thinking, am i not the lucky one?
to love you forever and become your shining sun?
as you put your arms around me, i felt nothing can compare
to what i was feeling, i was floating on air
as we continued to stare at the sunset beyond
i whispered ‘i love you’ but before you could respond
i felt a soft sea breeze, ruffling my hair
and i opened my eyes but you weren’t there
i looked around me at the deserted beach
smiling at myself, at the dream i couldn’t reach
the man of my dreams was not by my side
and the beach all around me was empty and wide
the space next to me was bare and empty too
for that was only a dream.. a dream of me and you…
