Daydreaming
The Roues Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even as i do the things i do
All day and night here in my room
I'm daydreaming
When you smile you lights up my day
Wish that you would smile for me that way in my mind
You always stay i'm daydreaming
First star i see tonight
I wish i may i wish i might
Be alone with you tonight
I have heard sweet dreams come true
Dreaming of you dreaming of me too
I see your face your eyes of blue i'm daydreaming
Star light star bright
First star i see tonight
I wish i may i wish i might
Be alone with you tonight
I have heard sweet dreams come true
Dreaming of you dreaming of me too
I see your face your eyes of blue i'm daydreaming
