Melodi Grand Prix 2023:
Elsie Bay - "Love You in a Dream"

Love You in a Dream

Had I reached out for your hand all those years ago
I'd sit here today and at least I would know
That every day, when you kiss someone else
That's who you chose to be with you instead

Nothing
Nightmare
Wake up
Always love you

If there's nothing but a nightmare when I wake up I could always love you in a dream

But why do we do this
Why not give into it
Though left unsaid I sense passion in your eyes

So, why do we do it
What good will it ruin
When holding my tongue will for sure mean goodbye

Maybe one day when we're gray and old
I'll finally sit down to pick up the phone
And tell you the truth, after a lifetime of lies
That you've been in my heart for all of this time

So, why do we do it
What good will it ruin
When holding my tongue will for sure mean goodbye

Or would it be a waste
Maybe you don't feel the same

So, why do we do it
What good will it ruin
When holding my tongue will for sure mean goodbye

Nothing
Nightmare
Wake up
Always love you

If there's nothing but a nightmare when I wake up I could alwayѕ love you
(in a dream, in a dreаm)
