(Dan Hill)

When I sleep through the night

I always dream that we are back together

Must be wishful thinking

Then I wake up alone

The bed seems oh so empty I start sinking

Through waves of wishful thinking

I was the one who said I needed room to breathe

You were the one who said that love was meant for you and me

I was afraid to give too much

Oh girl..

You gave the world to me

Every time we touched

When I wake late at night

I reach for your shoulder

Come up empty

Don't know what I was dreaming

Then I whisper your name

All I hear's the sound of my heart sinking

Is it only wishful thinking?

So soft your sigh, so sweet your lips

When we made love

Didn't know how happy, girl, you made me

Till you were gone

Didn't see the warning signs you gave

How could I let you go

I'd give a lifetime just to have you one more day

Ooh

Is it only wishful thinking?

Tell me I'm not dreaming

Or maybe you'll come back one day

Ooh

Is it only wishful thinking?

Only wishful thinking

Maybe you'll come back to stay

Come back baby

When the night starts to fall

I swear I hear your breathing in the darkness

I could spend my whole life dreaming

Ooh.. How our bodies would burn

One on one, I ache for your return

Don't let my heart keep sinking..

Ooh

Is it only wishful thinking?

Don't let my heart keep sinking

Or maybe you'll come back one day

Someone tell me

Is it only wishful thinking?

Or maybe you'll come back to stay

You can stay

When I sleep through the night

I always dream that we are back together

This is only wishful thinking

Hmmm...
