Dreaming
Robin Dowling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

yea, i'm a dreamer

i'm dreaming about you
in my dreams i can fly
and i look real good too
anything to make you want me
anything to make you want me
i'm dreaming about you
i'm dreaming about you

i'm dreaming about you
i'm with someone else
and she makes me feel good
but i wouldn't hesitate to
give it up if you just came through
i'm dreaming about you
i dream that i say
all the right words to you
words no one ever tell you
words i know you dream about too
i'm dreaming about you

i'm dreaming about you
i'm dreaming of us
in a car together
on our way to wherever
we could stay away forever
i'm dreaming about you
i'm dreaming of you
with your arms around me
saying with the softest whisper
this is what you dream about too

i'm dreaming about you
in my dreams i can fly
and i look real good too
anything to make you want me
anything to make you want me
i'm dreaming about you
in my dreams i can fly
and i look real good too




anything to make you want me
anything to make you want me
