this is what i dreamed

in the cool of the evening

when i was a boy

i would gaze at the wide open skies

and i'd dream of a someday

when i'd be a man

and live with a lady with lights in her eyes

well

i searched for that dream

till my heart nearly broke

till my hopes turned to hopeless and died

until just this morning when i suddenly woke

looked at you sleeping there and cried

this is what i dreamed

this is what i wished for

now all at once i see

everything i've ever wanted

is here with me

yes

this is what i dreamed

like a miracle unfolding

holding you near me

just like this

every moment

every kiss

is exactly how i pictured it would be

i swear i must be dreamin'

for this is what i dreamed

ooh

and it's everywhere around us

every cloud in the sky

every breeze that blows by

can't believe i've been so blind

to this sweet bliss

yes this is what i dreamed

and i just can't help but wonder

if under those same magic skies

you were closing your eyes

and dreaming of this moment with me

my life is wide awake now

for this is what i dreamed

ooh

this is what i dreamed

this is what i dreamed
