My Imagination
Sarah Brightman · Other Songs - Sarah Brightman
As the darkness turns to light I wake from dreaming,
I can see you won't be here with me for much too long.
Every day I tell myself that I'm with a healer,
so I put my trust in you, but how can I be sure?
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination,
don't keep me fighting with my imagination.
My heart is aching; I'll need an explanation.
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination.
When you're lost and all alone I share your feeling,
when you're on the outside and you think you can't get in.
Every night I'm reaching out imagine[ing] you'll hear me,
so I hold my breath for you, but how can I be sure?
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination,
don't keep me fighting with my imagination.
My heart is aching; I'll need an explanation.
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination.
Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me fighting
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination,
don't keep me fighting with my imagination.
My heart is aching; I'll need an explanation.
Don't keep me waiting with my imagination.
Don't keep me waiting
