I Was Only Dreamin'

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
Turnin' 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
Turnin' in my bed, life was so complete
But I was only dreamin'

I was only dreamin'

Oh yeah, I was only dreamin', I was only dreamin'
Visions in my head, talkin' in my sleep
Turnin' in my bed, life was so complete
Her shoes were on the beach but I was only dreamin'
