She left her shoes out on the beach
she left my dreams just out of reach
she left her footprints in the sand
she was a bird right in the hand
I met a girl that made me laugh
she left a faded photograph
I thought I heard a siren song
I sang along but I was...

I was only dreamin'
I was only dreamin'
visions in my head
talkin in my sleep
turning in my bed
but I was only dreamin'

I met a girl that talked in rhyme
I met a girl who took her time
I saw the ocean in her eyes
I saw myself unrecognized
and all the stars up in the sky
fell down like rain and made me cry
I held the world right in my hands
I held her close but I was...

I was only dreamin'
I was only dreamin'
visions in my head
talkin in my sleep
turning in my bed
life was so complete
but I was only dreamin'


I was only dreamin'
I was only dreamin'
visions in my head
talkin in my sleep
turning in my bed
life was so complete
her shoes were on the beach
but I was only dreamin'
