Color of Roses

I held you close to me

once in a distant dream,

far from the shores of my fear.

I sailed on the ocean where

all I imagined could happen,

and now you are here.

It's so hard to touch

what is out of our hands,

to know and to trust

what the heart understands.

Only the ones who believe

ever see what they dream,

ever dream what comes true.

Life gives us magic and

life brings us tragedy.

Everyone suffers some loss.

Still we have faith in it,

childlike hope.

There's a reason that outweighs the cost.

And gravity throws

all these rules in our way.

And sometimes the sprit

refuses to play.

Only the ones who believe

ever see what they dream,

ever dream what comes true.

And oh, love,

turn me around in your arms.

And in this dream we share

let us not miss one kiss.

And add my regrets

to the tears in the rain

for that's what the color

of roses contain.

Only the ones who believe

ever see what they dream,

ever dream,

ever dream what comes true.
