Color of Roses

I held you close to me
 once in a distant dream,
 far from the shores of my fear.
 I sailed on the ocean where
 all I imagined could happen,
 and now you are here.
 It's so hard to touch
 what is out of our hands,
 to know and to trust
 what the heart understands.
 Only the ones who believe
 ever see what they dream,
 ever dream what comes true.
 Life gives us magic and
 life brings us tragedy.
 Everyone suffers some loss.
 Still we have faith in it,
 childlike hope.
 There's a reason that outweighs the cost.
 And gravity throws
 all these rules in our way.
 And sometimes the sprit
 refuses to play.
 Only the ones who believe
 ever see what they dream,
 ever dream what comes true.
 And oh, love,
 turn me around in your arms.
 And in this dream we share
 let us not miss one kiss.
 And add my regrets
 to the tears in the rain
 for that's what the color
 of roses contain.
 Only the ones who believe
 ever see what they dream,
 ever dream,
 ever dream what comes true.
