Daydream
The Sweet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy

And even if time is really on my side
It's one of those days to takin' a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun

And follow my face, so somebody's new mode long

I've been havin' a sweet dream
I've been dreaming since I woke up today
It started me in my sweet dream
Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way

And even if time is pass me by alive
I couldn't care less about to do if they say I die
Tomorrow I pay the dues for droppin' my low
Upon the eye for being a sleepable toe

And you can be sure that if you feelin' right
A daydream will last a long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast, yeah, you may pick up your ears
Oh, you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of Joy

And even if time is really on my side
It's one of those days to takin' a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
And follow my face, so somebody's new mode long

And even if time is passin' me by alive
I couldn't care less about to do if they say I die

Tomorrow I pay the dues for droppin' my low
Upon the eye for being a sleepable toe

What a day for a daydreamin' boy
Today is the perfect day for a boy lost in his own fantasies

It's the kind of day that's perfect for going outside

I'm wasting the day to go for a sunny stroll

And follow my face, so somebody's new mode long
Follow my instincts and see where they lead me

I've been havin' a sweet dream
I have been lost in a wonderful fantasy

I've been dreaming since I woke up today
I have been daydreaming since I opened my eyes today

It started me in my sweet dream
It all began with a wonderful dream

Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way

And even if time is pass me by alive
Even if time continues to move forward at a steady pace

I'll deal with the consequences of not doing what I'm supposed to tomorrow

Upon the eye for being a sleepable toe
I'll accept the punishment for being lazy

And you can be sure that if you feelin' right
If you're feeling good and positive about life

A daydream will last a long into the night
Your dreams and fantasies will continue well into the night

Tomorrow at breakfast, yeah, you may pick up your ears
Tomorrow, you may be more attentive and alert at breakfast

Oh, you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years
You may continue daydreaming for a very long time

Custom made for a daydreamin' boy
Today was made for a boy lost in his own thoughts

Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of Joy
Thinking about the person who brings me happiness
