I saw a spark in you
Something that shone when you smiled
A passing ship I missed
A little candle in the dark
Now you've gone back to your life
And I've come back to mine
We'll make the best of what we have
And I'm sure we'll be fine

Imagining what could have been
Remembering what should have been
Now it's back to reality
I can get back there
When I think of you that way
We were together then
But you are never gonna stay
I’ll keep you in my memory
And though it's just pretend
Back where we could have it all
I'll get there in the end

Imagining what could have been
Remembering what should have been
Back to reality
Somewhere we couldn’t ever be
Anymore than just a dream

Imagining what could have been
Remembering what should have been
Now it's back to reality
Back to reality
