Told myself time and time again
That I'm not in love with you
And then it came to me one night in a dream
You mean more to me than I wanted to see
There is nothin' I could do to stop it
Even though you're with somebody else

If I didn't really care, why were you there?
The color of you eyes, the scent of your hair
Now, I know dreams aren't reality
But you're so real, so real to me

It took a dream to tell me that I love you, lady
I couldn't see that you were always there for me
Remembering the time we shared together
Became clear to me one night I am in love, oh

I tossed and turned and broke a sweat
Of with tears my pillow's wet, I'm drownin'
In a river of my homelessness
And only you can save me now
I've got to find someway, somehow
To let you know how I feel inside
'Cause it's so obvious and hard to hide

If I didn't really care, why were you there?
The color of you eyes, the scent of your hair
Now, I know dreams ain't reality
But it's so real, so real to me

It took a dream to tell me that I love you, lady
I couldn't see that you were always there for me
Remembering the time we shared together, together, yeah
Came clear to me one night, yeah

And it became clear to me one night, I am in love
And what can I do and what can I say
To let you know that I feel the same
Please don't walk away, 'cause I know I can't be wrong
And my dreams, they can't be wrong

It took a dream to tell me that I love you, baby
'Cause I could not see that you were always there for me
Remembering all of the times we spent together
Came clear to me one night, it came clear to me one night

It took a dream to tell me that I love you, baby
'Cause I could not see that you were always there for me
Remembering all of the times we spent together
Came clear to me one night, yeah, that I love, oh, ooh. oh, oh yeah
