White Dress
written by: Jeff Flaig
Do you remember the night, the night you wore that white dress,
when we dreamed,
and I’m still dreaming
I chased you through the streets of Dublin
I remember
it was spring
and dogwood filled the air,
How love filled the air
I remember in that white dress,
you were running. We were running,
and we laughed
as we held each other’s hands
While the pain of the world was placed on hold
I told you
how I loved
following you there
I’d follow you anywhere
I want to see you again
I want to be with you again
I want to dream again
how to laugh and how to pretend
that we are in love again
Then we burned in the fire
the fire that grew between us
We were young,
and we were alive
At midnight we held each other in the flames
We went crazy
as we danced together
under the stars above,
Under the stars, we loved
Until the cool early morn
brought its light and summer dew
Waking up,
I sneaked out,
I picked flowers and bundled them for you
I returned
with red and yellow
colors of love
I will always love you
I want to see you again
I want to be with you again
I want to dream again
how to laugh and how to pretend
that we are in love again
Was it only a dream that brought us together
To those Dublin streets of red flowers and spring?
Or was it the simple desire of place and weather
That we chased summer love and all it might bring?
Should we ever be alone
in this world again
I would still love you and remember the dream
Where we found each other without the pain
And the white dress you wore
I loved you in autumn,
when trees give away, and leaves color
the warmth in your heart
that’s still holding
the shadows of our spring and summer days
In that season
and for that reason,
I called your name
I still call your name
You whispered back to me
with love and a familiar voice
You sang to me
an enchanting melody
It was as soft as the faded hues of autumn
I dreamed again
how we will always
remember the flame
We burned in the flame
I want to see you again
I want to be with you again
I want to dream again
how to laugh and how to pretend
that we are in love again
It was on a lonely city street
in the middle of winter, I was searching
to find my way
That’s when I saw
you standing on the corner in the snow
I remembered
the air smelled frozen,
crisp, and cold,
But you felt so warm
When I saw you, I reached out,
put my arms around you, and kissed you
In my dream
I believed in us
We held each other as tightly as two lovers can
I promised us,
to hold you like this
when we are old,
Even when we are old
I want to see you again
I want to be with you again
I want to dream again
how to laugh and pretend
that we are in love again
Was it only a dream that brought us together
To autumn leaves, and winter bells that ring?
Or was it the simple desire of place and weather
That we found love in autumn with all it might bring?
Should we ever be alone
in this world again
I would still love you and remember the dream
Where we found each other without the pain
And that white dress you wore
And that white dress you wore
