Lyrics
A LOVELY DREAM
I never knew
There could be someone like you
Then you walked into my life.
Nothing?s the same
All the rest is just a game
Since you walked into my life.
The moon, the stars at night
They blaze with light
When you appear.
The empty feeling dies
My spirits rise
Darling, when you are near.
Are you what you seem
Or is this a lovely dream
Are you really in my life?
I couldn?t see
That love had plans for me
Then you walked into my life
Everything?s changed
My whole world?s been rearranged
Since you walked into my life.
My world?s a different hue
No longer blue
Since I found you.
I see you as you are
A golden star that could rival the sun.
Are you what you seem
Or is this a lovely dream
Are really you in my life?
