"My Dreams" - Lyrics and Music

About the song

For two years all I had in this song was the lyrics, melody and chords for first two lines - "When I close my eyes and sleep, I see your face in my dreams". It sounded great. Maybe even perfect. I would play it over and over, but couldn't get anything further that would match up to the quality of the first line. Then two years later the whole of the rest of the song came together over a weekend. There's not much more to say, except that it sounds simple but was one of the hardest on the album.

Lyrics

When I close my eyes and sleep
I see your face in my dreams
I taste you on my lips
I feel your breath on my skin
Cos' you and I in the end
Could not have been better friends
And all the times we laughed
And all the times we weeped
Come back to me when I close my eyes and sleep
They come back to me when I close my eyes and sleep

(instrumental)

In the corners of my mind,
I've come to realise
That I was truly blind
To the love in your eyes
I didn't see beneath the skin
I didn't see the love within
And all the times we laughed
And all the times we cried
Come back to me in the corners of my mind
They come back to me in the corners of my mind

(instrumental)
