If Only In My Mind - Jill Barber

I must be dreaming again

For it canʼt really be

But who can blame me when I slip

Back into that old fantasy

My thoughts return once again

To the one I left behind

Where I can hold him in my arms again

If only in my mind

For only in my mind

Can I be near him

Since the day we had to part

If I canʼt have him by my side

Let me keep him in my heart I must be dreaming again

For Iʼm content just to be

Lost in some fairy tale of my design that only I can see

My mind is playing tricks again

Or perhaps itʼs being kind

Where I can hold him in my arms again

If only in my mind

Each time I call out his name

But he doesnʼt come to me

But still I feel him all the same,

He keeps me company

For only in my mind

Can I be near him

Since the day we had to part

If I canʼt have him by my side

Let me keep him in my heart I must be dreaming again

Each time I call out his name

But he doesnʼt come to me

But still I feel him all the same,

My thoughts return to him

The one I left behind

Where I can hold him in my arms

If only in my mind.
