00:00So
00:30Once upon a time at a coffee shop way on down the street
00:37Sits a little girl and a boy who's hard as wheat
00:41They never spoke much about together what they could be
00:44But poor little boy he's on the verge of falling to his knees
00:48She walks through her day from the time that she wakes up
00:51And of her sweet, sweet voice he can't get enough
00:56She wears a pretty frown as she longs for the beach
00:59Of course she does he thought, a mermaid she seemed to be
01:03With a tilt of her head she acts as if something's wrong
01:07For at the face of an angel he's stared for much too long
01:10I'm already sad, just a matter of time
01:14You know I'm just thinking, I kinda had a lot on my mind
01:18With a touch of his hand I understand she said that it was true
01:21Truth be told baby you know I've kinda had a lot on my mind too
01:25She said you know you're not hard to read, I have eyes when we talk
01:29And in your eyes I see a lover's heart
01:32He said
01:36Now you know I wouldn't ask this question if I didn't think that I already knew
01:40But do you think about me just as much as I think about you?
01:45He said
01:47When I dream I don't see what could be
01:51No endless flights over endless seas
01:55The birds don't sing from purple trees
01:58And starships and comets they never fly beyond reach
02:02As I drift off to sleep and my mind breaks no rule
02:06I can't imagine a silver blue flame that cools
02:09The fork made of gold doesn't run off with a spoon
02:13And the very ordinary cow doesn't jump over the moon
02:17As I wake and go about my day baby I don't think about school
02:20The sky remains the same as the people and places do
02:24Even when my nightdreams turn to day my mind runs aloof
02:28I still only dream of you
02:54I still only dream of you
03:24I still only dream of you
03:54I still only dream of you
03:57I still only dream of you
04:24I still only dream of you
