🎶 Full Lyrics – “I Keep Dreaming”:

[Intro – Wordless Vocals]
Whooo… oooh…
You left something. I still hear it.
Uooooh…
It’s not an echo if it never left.

[Verse 1]
You were here the same way thunder is—
loud, then gone, but everything wet after.
The hallway still makes space for your footsteps,
but they never finish the walk.

There are things I didn’t say,
not because I was scared—
because I assumed there would be time.
That assumption is now a ghost that lives in my mirror.

[Fragmented Chorus]
Whooo… ooo…
Your name is a shape my mouth makes in silence.
Whooo ouuuh…
I’m not sure if I’m remembering you
or inventing you again every morning.
Uoooooh…
I don’t sleep much. Not since the dreaming started.

[Verse 2]
There’s a jacket on the chair.
Not yours, but it doesn’t know that.
The smell left weeks ago, but my hands pretend it’s still there.
I touched nothing, but I’m the one who broke.

You used to hum that one song—
the one that had no real chorus.
I hum it now, off-beat,
like I’m keeping time with your absence.

[Bridge – Spoken/Whispered Thought]
If grief is a building,
I live in the elevator.
Up, down,
but never out.

[Refrain – Not a Chorus, Not a Verse]
Whooo…
You said “keep dreaming.”
But never told me what to do when I woke up
and everything was the same, except you weren’t.

[Outro]
Uoooooh…
I keep dreaming.
But it’s starting to feel like lying.

Song Details

🎵 “I Keep Dreaming” – An Acoustic Song About Grief, Memory & Letting Go
Raw. Unfiltered. Honest.
By: Norman Bell

This is “I Keep Dreaming”, a deeply emotional acoustic song written for anyone who has ever lost someone they weren’t ready to lose. No chorus. No polished hook. Just a quiet voice trying to hold onto a memory that keeps slipping away.

The song begins with wordless vocals—like echoes from a dream—and moves through spoken fragments, soft guitar, and silence. It’s not performed—it’s confessed. If you’ve ever felt grief that doesn’t end, this song might feel like your own diary being sung aloud.
