Wishful Thinking

(album: Real Love - 1989)

When I sleep through the night
I always dream that we are back together
Must be wishful thinking
Then I wake up alone
The bed seems oh so empty
I start sinking through waves of wishful thinking

I was the one who said I needed room to breathe
You were the one who said that love was meant for you and me
I was afraid to give too much
Oh girl, you gave the world to me every time we touched

When I wake in the night
I reach for your shoulder, come up empty
I don't know what I was dreaming
Then I whisper your name
All I hear's the sound of my heart sinking
Is it only wishful thinking

So soft your sigh, so sweet your lips when we made love
Didn't know how happy, girl, you made me, til you were gone
And see the warning solitude (how could I let you go)
I'd give a lifetime just to have you one more day, oh

Is it only wishful thinking (tell me I'm not dreaming)
Or maybe you'll come back one day
Is it only wishful thinking (only wishful thinking)
Maybe you'll come back to stay
Come back, baby

When the night starts to fall
I swear I hear your breathing in the darkness
I could spend the whole night dreaming
Oh, how our bodies would burn
One on one I ache for your return
Don't let my heart keep sinking, oh

Is it only wishful thinking (oh know that my heart is sinking)
Maybe you'll come back one day
Oh, someone tell me, is it only wishful thinking
That maybe you'll come back to stay
Who can say

When I sleep through the night
I always dream that we are back together
This is only wishful thinking
