(For Jonathan)

I never thought much of knights and kings
Every one of them will die in the end
I wasn't searching for prince charming
All I ever wanted was a friend
I thought you'd fit the glove quite nicely
Then dusk came and I fell to dreams
And wistfulness seized hold of me
It was your love that ripped the seams
Now I just want to stay and dream with you--
At least then it'd be real to me

Don't want to wake up
Don't want to face tomorrow alone
Don't want to break up
Don't want to face the world if you're gone

I would make a wish for you
But the stars burn out too quickly
I want to spend my day with you
Though the light always fades too swiftly
I would say a prayer for you
But I don't think anyone's listening
I would pour my hopes on you
Though I don't know what tomorrow's bringing
Just let me stay and dream with you--
At least then it'd be real to me

Don't want to wake up
Don't want to face tomorrow alone
Don't want to break up
Don't want to face the world if you're gone

I never thought much of knights and kings
I have no need when I have you
I wasn't searching for prince charming
I never thought you'd come to me
Now all I wish for, all I pray for
Is to keep this feeling that's brand new
Just let me stay and dream with you--
At least then it'd be real to me.
I only ask one thing of you--
Help make it real to me.
