Average White Band - She's A Dream lyrics

Yes, she was beautiful And she smiled at me As she pa**ed my way In the heat of the noon day sun Ohh the promise of those eyes Got me hypnotized I ask her to stay And continue what she's begun She stayed and I wondered why As the time flew by Day faded away into the night It all felt so perfect When it dawned on me I saw the light She was a dream Disappearing as quick As she came into view When I awoke to find She was a dream Tried to get myself back to sleep To chase her shadow along the night Keep this illusion alive I felt that we'd met before On another shore some other time She was a love of mine Ohh she was a dream Thought that my ship had come in Then I awoke to find She was a dream Every night I lay me down to sleep I pray that I'll find her again Though I know in my heart She's a dream She's a dream When I think of that island day The ocean spray the burning sand It all seems so real And if we ever meet again Somewhere out there I know just how I feel She was a dream Every night I lay me down to sleep I pray that I'll find her again Thought I know in my heart She's a dream She's a dream Ohh, I know She's a dream Just my imagination running away with me Ooh I don't even know her name Ooh gonna find her - gotta find her She's a Dream She's a Dream
