[Verse 1, Dubbs]
I talked to you in a dream last night
It was like we would never report for one minute
Told you that I missed you ever since you disappeared the year, and a minute
Showed you a picture of the kids and told you how I'm feeling like shit
To know you would never see them grow to a young woman and man
And how I'm loving every minute
See becoming a dad, it's like everything I know about this came from your mouth
And I'm proud I was taught those lessons
I consider every second you took a breath in my presence was a blessing
Yes and, I’m questioning how things might be if you were still around
I think I see a little light at the end of my tunnel
I just wish you were here to bask in it with me
It's still sad, but I'm glad that you didn't have to sit here
And watch what your son went through
It would’ve thrown you for a loop
Probably would have had you fucked up for a month or two
Then I hugged you, told you I loved you
Suddenly the world didn't seem so bad
And then the flash—it was over
Tears on the pillow, some burst through this dream I had
[Chorus, Timothy A. Levy]
And when the sun comes up
I'm still reminded of the memories that we made
Our time was not enough
If I could see you again
I want to tell you what you mean to me—
If only you're in a dream
[Verse 2, Intellegentz]
I talked to you in a dream last night
I couldn't believe it, like, am I seeing this right?
The sight of us two had ever more grown up?
I could finally sit the yes vessel in the cup
Took a shot of Zambuka—"Just do what you like."
Listen, I'm wishing you could have met the wife and three kids
I know they would have loved you like I do
I show them pictures, but that's not enough to capture your essence
You're an angel, and I'm betting
That you make God laugh up in heaven
You left an everlasting impression
And I know if you were present
You would be so proud of where I'm headed
But it's so sad that you're not here
I remember that day that I shed those tears
But I know life must go on
Just glad I have memories to hold on to—
Of you, and it's vividly clear, just as the sky is blue (blue)
Then I seen you smile
And just as I go to hold you close
There was a poof in a cloud of smoke
Mixed with a bright light and an overdose on emotion in this moment
Got me so choked up
Just imagine my face when I woke up
[Chorus, Timothy A. Levy]
And when the sun comes up
I'm still reminded of the memories that we made
Our time was not enough
If I could see you again
I want to tell you what you mean to me—
If only in a dream
[Verse 3, J Dubb]
I talked to you in a dream last night
You approached me so closely
Damn near woke me
Standing with the damn grin
With your hands out waving like you were trying to evoke me
Stood strong in a bright sheen
White light gleam
You were there when I laughed quick
With the same face
I was in amazement
We embraced in a hug tight with a great grip
What a great stint me and you had
And I'm sorry that I could not save you
Just erased the day you passed away
And heaven made way for an angel
Every day is a little less painful
And thank you for the memories that would never leave
I never told you what you meant to me
But to be brief, brother
It’s you, the best friend to me
And that's real, really
I wish God made more with your mold
To make a cold world warm in a roam, but you bro, as the story unfolds
There's only one you, a legend that will always be told
And then he smiled, proud
And outraised his tattooed arm
And placed it on my right shoulder
And then the light was over
I woke with a tear in my eye and the pride of a soldier
[Chorus, Timothy A. Levy]
And when the sun comes up
I'm still reminded of the memories that we made
Our time was not enough
If I could see you again
I want to tell you what you mean to me—
If only in a dream
[Outro, Timothy A. Levy]
If only in a dream
If only in a dream
If only in a dream
Only in a dream
Only in a dream
Only in a dream
Only in a dream
Only in a dream
When the sun comes up
I’m still reminded of the memories that we made
Our time was not enough
If I could see you again
I want to tell you what you mean to me—
If only in a dream
