I was pondering love, whihc is common for we poets and songwriters and sat down and hit a couple Jimi Hendrix-type bluesy-rock chords and BINGO a spark was ignited and thie song rose from the flames.

Verse 1.
I close my eyes and I see nothing
I open them wide and it's still the same
I hoped to see a glimpse of you running
And you were heading my way
Chorus
I know a heart that's broken in two
Won't believe that love can be true
But, my heart's an open door
I see you reach and turn the key
And step back into me
And suddenly I feel complete
But, I know I was dreaming
I was only dreaming
I was dreaming
I was only dreaming
Verse 2.
Out in the mist I can see a shadow
Your lips appear and brush against my cheek
Whispering my dreams can all come true
If I find the path leading back to you
Chorus
I know a heart that's broken in two
Won't believe that love can be true
But, my heart's an open door
I see you reach and turn the key
And step back into me
And suddenly I feel complete
But, I know I was dreaming
I was only dreaming
I was dreaming
I was only dreaming
