Meaning of Dream Too Real to Hold by Mandy Barnett

All my life I've held to dreams and fantasy

A dream of one true love and one alone.

And though I never saw her face or felt her touch

I held her in my arms she was my own.

I held her in my arms; she was my own.

Too many times I've settled for a lover's touch

Someone who would care, someone to hold

Always fearing one that I would love too much

For where would I be found should love grow cold.

They say that when you search for true love you'll never find

They say that when you search for true love, you'll never find

The kind of love to touch your very soul

And all at once I turned and I was lost there in your eyes

And all at once I turned, and I was lost there in your eyes

Awakened by a dream too real to hold.

The feeling that's come over me it scares me half to death

The feeling that's come over me, it scares me half to death

I face my dream although I am awake

And though I'm sure to wake and find a broken heart

I know this is a chance that I must take

I know that you've been hurt for I can hear your silent cries

Calling from the darkness and the cold

Don't you know, you're nothing less than perfect in my eyes.

Although I fear a dream too real to hold.

Is true love a dream too real to hold.
