Last night I dreamt you were lying beside me
I smelled the sweetness of your hair
And you gently reached out to remind me of how it used to be
And I almost believed that this morning I’d find you still there
But here in the real world
I miss you madly, in the real world
I’m coping badly with losing you
What am I to do
Here in the real world, without you
Last night I dreamt of a different ending
(I dreamt our love was strong)
Everything just seemed to work out, somehow
(Our love will grow on and on)
I saw that someday I could smile again without pretending
I was so sure I’d wake up and I wouldn’t need you right now
But here, here in the real world
I miss you madly, in the real world
I’m coping badly with losing you
What am I to do
Here in the real world, without you
Friends tell me I must not look back
There are silver rails just ahead on the track
And my stars say I’m getting over the fact that you’re gone
But here, here in the real world
I miss you madly, in the real world
I’m coping badly with losing you
What am I to do
Here in the real world, without you
Here in the real world
Here in the real world
Here in the real world
Here in the real world
I am lost without you
