I'm Not Dreaming Anymore
Jennifer Rush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the heaven above
I used to believe that
They would turn into love
But now I know better
It takes more than that
For the truth in your eyes
For the joy that I'm feeling
'Cause a love like this is hard to find
To the point I almost lost my mind
And a love like this is all I need
Now I know I was dreaming before
I'm not dreaming anymore
I used to be careless
I used to get hurt
Drag my emotions
And my heart through the dirt
Now I know better
And the scars they have healed
For the way that you trust me
Four your beautiful smile
I will give everything that I am
'Cause a love like this is hard to find
To the point I almost lost my mind
And a love like this is all I need
Now I know I was dreaming before
I'm not dreaming anymore
For the first time
I believe it
I can feel it
In every heartbeat
Breaking
I surrender
To the tender
Ways you always
Touch me
When you want me
When you need me
For the first time I believe it
I can feel it
I'm not dreaming anymore
'Cause a love like this is hard to find
To the point I almost lost my mind
And a love like this is all I need
Now I know I was dreaming before
I'm not dreaming anymore.
