For a moment I thought That after all The years and tears And will they, won't they That maybe we would For just a moment I saw The two of us Standing barefoot By the ocean In another world A brief dream of sun That I'll always want A brief dream of sun That'll never come You made me think That I was something And maybe I was But all this time I tried to find it I just never could Maybe if we both Were older If we understood Burning bright As high as heaven Is never as good A brief dream of sun That I'll always want A brief dream of sun That'll never come Your silhouette Against the water Your footsteps in the sand Your shadow Growing longer Forever fading in my head A brief dream of sun That I'll always want A brief dream of sun That'll never come A brief dream of sun That I'll always want A brief dream of sun That'll never come Your silhouette Against the water Your footsteps in the sand Your shadow Growing longer Forever fading in my head
