If only things could be how they seem

I have this one special place,
Where I can always see your face.
I close my eyes and I see,
Your arms around me.

Holding me tight,
All through the night.
Looking in your deep brown eyes,
I can no longer hear my cries.

Walking the beach under the night sky,
And I start to wonder why.
Why can't you stay forever,
So we can be together?

when I open my eyes,
I start to cry.
It was all a dream,
If only things could be how they seem...
