Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought about the way that it could be
Two o'clock, wonderin' what I'm doin' here alone without you
So I close my eyes and dream you here to me, and...
Chorus:
I woke up in love this morning
I woke up in love this morning
I woke up in love this morning
I woke up in love this morning
Went to sleep with you on my mind
Hello, girl, yes it's five o'clock I know but you just listen
There's something that I've got to let you know
This is you, this pillow that I'm huggin' and I'm kissin'
And one more thing before I let you go...
Chorus
Do dreams come true, well if they do, I'll have you
Not just for a night, but for my whole life through
Chorus (Repeat to fade)

Last night, I turned out the light, lay down and thought about you
I switched off the light, went to bed and dwelled upon you
I thought about the way that it could be
I imagined how our moments together would have been
Two o'clock, wonderin' what I'm doin' here alone without you
It was 2 AM and I was questioning myself on why I was by myself without you
So I close my eyes and dream you here to me, and...
Therefore, I shut my eyes and envisaged your presence with me, and...
Chorus: I woke up in love this morning
Refrain: I realized that I was in love as soon as I woke up
Went to sleep with you on my mind
I had you in my thoughts before I fell asleep
Hello, girl, yes it's five o'clock I know but you just listen
Hey, lady, even though it's already 5 AM, give me your ear for a moment
There's something that I've got to let you know
I have something important I need to tell you
This is you, this pillow that I'm huggin' and I'm kissin'
This pillow that I'm holding and cuddling, represents you
And one more thing before I let you go...
Before I dismiss you, there's one more thing I need to say
Chorus
Refrain
Do dreams come true, well if they do, I'll have you
If wishes could come true, then I'd want to have you
Not just for a night, but for my whole life through
Not just for one evening, but for the rest of my existence
