I had a dream of you and me in Colorado
Laughing and crying, drinking wine straight from the bottle
We were dancing with no music
I was lost in those deep brown eyes, hm-mm-mm

I had a dream that you met me in New York City
The sun fell on your face
and you seemed somehow twice as pretty
All the noise and then
the world stopped when you pulled me close
And told me that you loved me

I guess I have to close my eyes to see you
I guess I have to leave real life to feel you
So, I'll meet you here again when I'm asleep
'Cause I can only have you in my dreams

As long as I can dream, I'll dream of Colorado
Where I have your whole heart
and that's the only thing that I know
You look up and touch my face 'cause you're in love
You know my name and we're happy

But I guess I have to close my eyes to see you
I guess I have to leave real life to feel you
So I'll meet you here again when I'm asleep
'Cause I can only have you in my dreams

Or are these nightmares? Please, be real
Please be right there
When I wake up, will you need me?
Or are you happy living without me?

I guess I have to close my eyes to see you
I guess I have to leave this life
to have a moment with the real you
So, I'll meet you here again when I'm asleep
'Cause I can only have you in my dreams
