When I awake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's an emerald sky
Silver birds flying by
Purple trees all around
Velvet grass on the ground
Then I see a face, of the girl who's calling me
And love is in my eyes for this girl was just a dream
When I awake she is gone
And I return to reality
When I awake she is gone
Because it's just a dream, a fantasy
Then the morning light
Slowly flows into night
And I close my eyes
And reality dies
Again I see the face of the girl who's calling me
And now she's in my arms but this love can never be
When I awake she is gone
And I return to reality
When I awake she is gone
Because it's just a dream, a fantasy
Again I see the face of the girl who's calling me
And now she's in my arms but this love can never be
When I awake she is gone
And I return to reality
When I awake she is gone
Because it's just a dream, a fantasy
When I awake.......
