Story Behind The Song
I am always asked who I wrote the song about. in truth i didn't write it about anyone, although it sounds as if i was madly in love at the time i wasn't. it was more the idea of feeling like that about someone.
Song Description
dreamy, and very catchy song. the first two verses are very similar. the chorus catches the listener by changing key and tempo and introducing harmony. this song quiets an audience whenever I play it.

verse 1

I must be starstruck, or whatever can explain this feeling

one look, when you're fallin like a star and seein
D
her sky and nothing in between
G D
she is the measure of my dreams
verse 2
D D
it must be our luck to have met in such a waydo you feel that our love,
D
was if fate now I can't say I'm hearing her voice and nothing in between,
G D
she is the measure of my dreams.
chorus
C A7
and so now tou know what i think about at night in my bed what i dream about,
D
you only you and nobody else, all of your words from letter sent,
D
a picture i see when i close my eyes you when you laugh and you when your cry,
D
it's takin your hand when we're on the street, watchin you breath when you fall asleep
D
it's you and your way that i can't describe, how she makes me feel alive.she makes me feel aliive
