I know I never told you much just what I feel inside
I guess that’s just part of my sense of manly pride
I know it seemed sometimes I didn’t really care
If only you could see my heart and all love that’s there

Chorus:
You were my dream, you were my wish
You were that treasure from above
You were my hopes, you were my song
Sung in the eternal key of love
You were my here, you were my now
You were the twinkle in my eyes
You were the love that filled my heart
You were my prize

I can’t believe my foolishness I let it slip away
I wish there was something I could do, something I could say
So many things I should have said, what was I waiting on?
Why did I wait to say them all after you had gone?

Chorus:
You were my dream, you were my wish
You were that treasure from above
You were my hopes, you were my song
Sung in the eternal key of love
You were my here, you were my now
You were the twinkle in my eyes
You were the love that filled my heart
You were my prize

Bridge:
I hope someday you hear this
And maybe then you’ll know
Just how much I miss you
How I love you so
And maybe in that moment
You will realize
How much I’ll always love you
My Dream, my Wish, my Prize
