There's a dozen red roses waiting for you.
There's a love to last you a lifetime.
There's a person as caring as any you've known,
But it's something that you'll never find.

Cause it's never the way you dream it is
When nothing's real anymore,
And the love that you dream,   
And the dream that you live in 
Are something your life can't afford.

There's a piece of mind in the back of your head.
There's a silence that comforts and soothes,
And you think that you might win this damn human race,
But in real life you're just gonna lose.

So those dozen red roses are just gonna wilt,
And the love of your life won't be there,
And the piece of mind in the back of your head
Is replaced with pain and despair.

Cause it's never the way you dream it is
When nothing's real anymore.
And the love that you dream,
And the dream that you live in
Is something your life can't afford.

   I would like to say thank you to everyone who sent comments
   and/or compliments. I somehow wiped-out my mailbox and didn't
   know how to get back to you! The comments and/or compliments
   were well appreciated...  Thanks again!
