Pool Mashup: Just The Way You Are/Just A Dream
The Barden Bellas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Uh, uh, I was thinkin' bout her, thinkin' bout me, thinkin' bout us, who we gonna be
(I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me)
Opened my eyes, and it was only just a dream
(It's so, it's so, sad to think that she can't see what I see)
(But every time she asks me "do I look okay, you know I'll say)
It was only just a dream

When I see your face
(So I traveled back down that road will she come back, no one knows)
There's not a thing that I would change, cause you're amazing, just the way you are
(I realized, it was only just a dream, it was only just a dream)

When I see your face
(So I traveled back down that road will she come back, no one knows)
There's not a thing that I would change, Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
(I realized, it was only just a dream, it was only just a dream)





When I see your face
(Face)
