[Verse 1]
If I close my eyes I see your face and I'm not without you
If I try hard and concentrate, I can still hear you speak
I picture myself in your room by the chair, you're smoking a cigarette
If I close my eyes I can see your face, you're saying "I missed you"
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'

[Verse 2]
If I close my eyes I can smell your perfume, you look and say "Hi, babe"
If I close my eyes, pictures from China still hang from the wall
I hear the dog bark, I turn and say, "What were you saying?"
I picture you in the red chair inside the pale room
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'

[Verse 3]
You sat in your chair with a tube in your arm, you were so skinny
You were still making jokes, I don't know what drugs they had you on
You said, "I guess this is not the time for long term investments"
You were always laughing but you never laughed at me

[Verse 4]
They say in the end the pain was so bad that you were screaming
Now you were no saint but you deserved better than that
From the corner I watch them removing things from your apartment
But I can picture your red chair and pale room inside my head
[Verse 5]
If I close my eyes I see your face and I'm not without you
If I try hard and concentrate, I can hear your voice saying, "Who better than you?"
If I close my eyes, I can't believe that I'm here without you
Inside your pale room, your empty red chair and my head
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'
