I Never Dreamt
I've had romances, not as our romance is
But the sort that don't last long
I longed to find you and now that I found you
I feel life is one sweet song
I built my hopes on mountains high
There was no ceiling to my sky
But I never dreamt you'd fall in love with me
I dreamt my dreamboats all came home
All safe and sound across the foam
But I never dreamt you'd fall in love with me
Little did I dream that love could ever be so nice
Little did I dream that love was no fool's paradise
I dreamt I've lived where rich men stroll
And all the streets were paved with gold
But I never dreamt you'd fall in love with me
I built my hopes on mountains high
There was no ceiling to my blue sky
But I never dreamt that you'd ever fall in love with me
I dreamt my dreamboats all came home
All safe and sound across the foam
But I never dreamt, I never dreamt that you'd fall in love with me
Little did I dream that love, love could ever be so nice
Little did I dream that love, love was no fool's paradise
I dreamt I lived where rich men stroll
And all the streets were paved with gold
But I never dreamt, I never dreamt that you'd fall in love with me
