lyrics

I'm so depressed, I can't forget these little feelings I repress
Are all I hold that's dear to me
Tie up my shoe and we'd sing songs, dance in the night light on the wall
And our shadow puppets would all parade to scare the monsters all away

Tucked beneath the blankets in our bed we'd share the secrets in our head
And I always knew that you'd be there, there to listen, there to care

Coming on home from school one day I found my friend had run away
Oh where oh where now could he be
Then Mommy sat me down and said that all along it was just pretend
And I was old enough to understand he was just an imaginary friend

Oh who will ever save me from this empty heart that enslaves me
In the memory of my friend and me
And rubbing my cheek against a peach I can feel his love so soft so sweet
And as my kitty purrs me to sleep I know I can waltz with you there
In my dreams
