Bob McGilpin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's like we're close together on a lonely night
I close my eyes, I steal a kiss and it's paradise
But reality takes you away
And I realize that you're only a dream in my eyes
Daydreamer, middle of the day and I dream of you
Daydreamer, yeah I'm head over heels in love
Daydreamer
I wait for the night to bring us together, yeah
The softness of the moon and stars are shining in your eyes
You look at me, I touch your lips and it's paradise
I open up my eyes, I see you're not there
That's when I realize that I'm building castles in air
Daydreamer, middle of the day and I dream of you
Daydreamer, yeah I'm head over heels in love
Daydreamer, I know it's just a dream but I can't help the way that I feel
