words and music by Rick Paul

Magic moments float across my memory
Gentle breezes whisper in my ear
I’m wide awake and dreaming
And wishing you were here

Tear-filled conversations, life and laughter
Silly songs we sang to pass the time
Private moments filled with stories
That still echo through my mind

I can close my eyes to see you
Anytime and anywhere
But when I wrap my arms around you
I’m just holding onto air

Ghostly winds blew in across the desert
You turned away when I looked in your eyes
And I couldn’t heal the hurting
You kept hidden deep inside

I can close my eyes to see you
Anytime and anywhere
But when I wrap my arms around you
I’m just holding onto air

Holding, holding
Holding onto air

I’m wide awake and dreaming
And wishing you were here

I can close my eyes to see you
Anytime and anywhere
But when I wrap my arms around you
I’m just holding onto air

I keep holding onto air
Yes, I’m holding onto air
