I thought of you and made believe

Until I made you real

You played with me

You stayed with me

And knew just what I'd feel



The lips I never kissed

Are lips I can't forget

The dress you never wore

On the day we never met

The name I never whispered

As it echoed in your mind

The man I never was

The sweet thing that's not mine



I drink to you, I toast your name

A name that I don't know

I think of you and see a face

A face that never shows



The lips I never kissed

Are lips I can't forget

The dress you never wore

On the day we never met

The name I never whispered

As it echoed in your mind

The man I never was

The sweet thing that's not mine



The lights are out, the moon is up

I'm calling out my plea

But all I hear is my own voice

Echo back to me



The lips I never kissed

Are lips I can't forget

The dress you never wore

On the day we never met

The name I never whispered

As it echoed in your mind

The man I never was

The sweet thing that's not mine
