Lately
Kenny Lattimore - Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm wishing it was reality, yeah
Dark skin, short hair
Legs that seem to go on forever
Brown eyes like a doe
And her soul so beautiful, oh lady, lady, lady
Wondering where have you been
Are you thinking 'bout me?
Are you thinking 'bout me?
Lately I've been seeing your
Face in my dreams
Are you dreaming 'bout me?
Are you dreaming 'bout me?
Soul child I'm basking in
The memory of your smile
And everywhere you go
Everybody feels the glow, oh yeah, oh yeah
A melody wrapped in queen and dream
Perfectly describes you
Your beauty echoes pleasures all through me
How can I dream more of you?
Lately I've been thinking 'bout you
Wondering where have you been
Are you thinking 'bout me?
Are you thinking 'bout me?
Lately I've been seeing your
Face in my dreams
Are you dreaming 'bout me?
Are you dreaming 'bout me, baby, baby?
Soul child I'm basking in
The memory of your smile
And everywhere you go
Everybody feels the glow, yeah
Lately I've been thinking 'bout you and me, baby
Lately I've been dreaming, dreams of you and me
Cause lately I've been thinking 'bout you
Wondering where have you been
Are you thinking 'bout me?
Tell me, are you thinking 'bout me, baby?
Cause lately I've been seeing your
Face in my dreams
Are you dreaming 'bout me?
Tell me, are you dreaming 'bout me, dreaming?
Lately I've been thinking 'bout you
Loving you, day and night, together
Lately I've been dreaming, dream of eternity
You're in my arms in love
Lately I've been thinking baby
Dreaming 'bout you and me
