Lyrics If Only In My Mind - Jill Barber

If Only In My Mind

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.
