Shade of a dream |
LyricsSHADE OF A DREAMWritten by Yves Stilmant ©1993-2025 | Female Vocal Version [Verse 1] Hot night, whiskey burnin' in my chest He walked in, and my soul took a left One quick glance, and I was gone My heart got caught in a storm head-on Tried to breathe, tried to play it cool But his voice lit fire like a neon fuel [Pre-Chorus] Words I couldn't say Started screamin' in my brain [Chorus] I'm not as far from you as you'd like that to be I'm still right there in the shade of your dream You can't chase away what won't say goodbye But I fade like a ghost when you reach for the light I'm not flesh, I'm not real -- or so it may seem But I'm burnin' inside you... a shade of a dream [Verse 2] Woke up in a stranger's bed Cold floor, heart hangin' by a thread My boots were gone, my pride was too Didn't even know what town I blew into I hit the street, tried to find my name But every shadow looked the same [Pre-Chorus] I fell into the dark But he lit up my heart [Chorus] I'm not as far from you as you'd like that to be I'm still right there in the shade of your dream You can't chase away what won't say goodbye But I fade like a ghost when you reach for the light I'm not flesh, I'm not real -- or so it may seem But I'm burnin' inside you... a shade of a dream [Bridge] You can chase every sunrise Drink down the moonlight But you'll never outrun what you feel I'm more than a memory More than a fantasy I'm the only thing you know is real [Final Chorus] I'm not as far from you as you'd like that to be I'm still right there in the shade of your dream You can't chase away what won't say goodbye But I fade like a ghost when you reach for the light You can try to forget me -- but you'll never be free 'Cause I'm still in your heart... a shade of a dream |
