Last night I dreamt you were lying beside me
I smelled the sweetness of your hair
And you gently reached out to remind me of how it used to be
And I almost believed that this morning I'd find you still there

But here in the real world
I miss you madly, in the real world
I'm coping badly with losing you
What am I to do
Here in the real world, without you

Last night I dreamt of a different ending
(I dreamt our love was strong)
Everything just seemed to work out, somehow
(Our love will grow on and on)
I saw that someday I could smile again without pretending
I was so sure I'd wake up and I wouldn't need you right now

But here, here in the real world
I miss you madly, in the real world
I'm coping badly with losing you
What am I to do
Here in the real world, without you

Friends tell me I must not look back
Where I soon or else just a head on a track
And my stars say I'm getting over the fact that you're gone

But here, here in the real world
I miss you madly, in the real world
I'm coping badly with losing you
What am I to do
Here in the real world, without you

Here in the real world
Here in the real world
Here in the real world
Here in the real world
I am lost without you
