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
