A Song

Just a Dream


When you walked in and looked at me,

I thought for sure this wasn’t true.

Your siren eyes called to my heart

and pulled my soul inside of you.


I asked myself, “Are you the one,

or am I walkin’ in my dreams?”

This sudden love just feels so surreal,

‘cause nothin’s ever as it seems.


Is it just a dream

or are we really here?

Are we one together, and

will we love forever . . .


As you’re walking near--

things are getting clear,

or is this just a dream.

Then you walked up and looked at me,

and I turned to hold your hand.

I moved the veil aside to kiss your face,

and I could hardly understand--


how the two of us

could find our way into this sacred place.

I never knew love could be so real;

it can’t get better than it seems.


Is it just a dream

or are we really here?

Are we one together, and

will we love forever . . .


As you’re walking near--

things are getting clear,

or is this just a dream.


But when you walked in and looked his way--

I thought for sure this wasn’t true.

Your teasing eyes had lied to me

about my soul inside of you.


I asked myself, “Is he the one,

or is this just a dream?”

How could the love I thought we had

just disappear without a scream?


Is it just a dream?

Aren’t we really here?

Weren’t we one together, and

can’t we love forever . . .


As you’re walking near--

things are getting clear,

or is this just a dream.


But then I woke and realized

that only you and I are here.

I looked at you in your sleep so sweet

and whispered softly in your ear:


It was just a dream;

we are really here.

We are one together;

we will love forever . . .


As we’re lying here

things are very clear--

you are just a dream.
