Lyrics
"Because I Dreamed You"
AcLyrics and Music by Gail Vareilles and Tommy Faragher
You're heart and soul above the rest
You're cutest when your hair is messed
I love that your belly's almost fat
The way you scratch my back like a pussycat
All my life I was looking for you
I didn't know how I was going to find you
So then I dreamed you
I had to dream you
I love the way you apologize
I'm always right in your eyes
I love the way when you're with me
Pretty girls walk by but you don't see
All my life I was looking for you
Then I knew how I was going to find you
I had to dream you
I had to dream you
The sweetest dream, a dream come true
Out of the dream, and in came you
You hold my head while I fall asleep
Your love for me, a river deep
All my life I was looking for you
No one ever loved me like you do
Because I dreamed you
So glad I dreamed you
All my life I was looking for you
No one ever loved me like you do
Because I dreamed you
Because I dreamed you
