lyrics

I had a dream that I was on a boat in the middle of the ocean.
I was all alone.
I had a dream that I was flying through the clouds,
But I was hit by a plane and splashed into the ground.
I had a dream that you loved me.
But it was just a dream.
It could never come true.

I had a dream that I was on a shooting star in the sky up above.
I was all alone.
I had a dream I was a butterfly inside my stomach when I talked to you.
I had a dream that you missed me.
But it was just a dream.
It could never come true.

I had a dream where we had the perfect day,
With story telling and lots of laughing.
You would say, "I love you more than anything,
And if you'd say it back I promise we can be..."
Then I woke up.
It was just a dream.
But it might...
It just might...
Who knows it might...
It might...
Oh it could...
It might come true.
It might be the last thing I ever do.

I had a dream we would lay there in the sun,
Just giggling, me and you all alone.
I had a dream where I would write you lots of songs.
You looked up at me and sang the words you knew:
"I love you more than anything that I have ever loved.
You're a dream but you're real."
