It Shouldn't Happen to a Dream lyrics

Millions of stars

Playing tag in the sky

All of my hope

Living right in your eyes

So much at stake and then I wake up

It shouldn't happen to a dream

Light-fingered clouds

Tuck the moon into bed

I feel your lips

Stand my heart on my head

Then comes the ache

Again I wake up

It shouldn't happen to a dream

The flowers get happy

And dance down the lane

The darkness no long is deep

We're meant for each other, and it's perfectly plain

Each time you walk into my sleep

Here comes the night cutting capers and again

Just for a while you'll be with me and then

The bubble will break

Again I'll wake up

It shouldn't happen to a dream
