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

Good approach, you're building something interesting.

Very cool track. From top to bottom and all around. Cool sounding ethereal goodness is alive and well in this song. Very tasty chord changes match the melody of the song perfectly. The vocals and lyrics fit the song very well. The song was recorded and mixed very nicely, and I believe most of it was recorded live with a drummer with a few overdubs later.. Very very cool track. Right up my alley!!

Very well put-together song both musically and lyrically. Really good intro. Very professional mix and arrangement. Soul is oozing out of every word.

Very cool tune ...it caught my attention right away. Not sure if this is new age which is what I was listening to when this song came up.

At first, I thought this piece would be good for a scene that had a wild Stallion in it. But it's a good song for unrequited love also.

The composition is sound and the recording is well-done. I enjoyed the slight bluesy feel to the arrangement as well, and I think it would fit right in if the song was played at a retail outlet or restaurant as background music.

Excellent instrumentation and recording. It is easy listening and has market potential.
