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 my mind
the man i never was
the sweet thing that's not mine
I drink to you and 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 my 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 my mind
the man i never was
the sweet thing that's not mine
