it shouldn't happen to a dream

millions of stars

playing tag in the sky

soft little dreams

holding hands in your eyes

so much at stake and then i wake up

it shouldn't happen to a dream

light-fingered clouds

tuck the moon into bed

i feel your lips

stand my heart on my head

then comes the ache

again i wake up

it shouldn't happen to a dream

the flowers get happy

and dance down the lane

the darkness no long is deep

a cloudburst of moonbeams is falling like rain

each time you walk into my sleep

here comes the night cutting capers and again

just for a while you'll be with me and then

the bubble will break

again i'll wake up

it shouldn't happen to a dream
