CHORUS:
I close my eyes and you are there.
I open them and you're nowhere.
Your picture's here as I grab my pen.
I hope these words make me feel like heaven.
All the memories are coming back to me now.
Where has all those smiles gone to?
The pics are all that's left to remind me now.
I can't wait again to be with you.
I've been here where I am now for who knows how long
while you're still there on the other side.
Nothing's right but nothing is also wrong.
Everything's just far and wide.
CHORUS.
Do you recollect all the mem'ries that I miss?
Or have you left them somewhere far?
I hope you've made me not a remnant of your past
just an old folk chasing cars.
You've been there where you are now for all your life
while I have been here for some years.
Oh how I really wish that I could turn back time
so I can save myself these tears!
CHORUS.
Welcome to the real world where you're not here and I'm alone.
Welcome to the real world where I'm in a place I can't call home.
I hope in time when I come back there, you'll welcome me with open arms.
If you don't, I don't know where I would go.
Forever, I'll keep dreaming how you are.
CHORUS.
CHORUS 2:
You close your eyes and I'll be there.
Don't open them or I'll disappear.
Your picture's here safe in my heart.
I hope that soon we are no longer apart.
