Not So Far Away

I had a dream that you were still alive, just as if you'd never left Just as if I'd never cried, with that same crooked smile,and those laughing blue eyes And in spite of my pain, Somehow I realized You're not so far away, You're still here with me today Not just where the shadows play, but in my mind you still stay Here with me, and you're not so far away I remember how you'd laugh, when you used to say That once you were gone, I'd probably dance on your grave And how it broke my heart, and how I turned away Maybe this is why, I don't dance till this day Looking backward through the mists of time A window to those younger days A silent movie acted out in mime Shining bright now through the haze
