I had a dream last night
You were holding someone else's child
In the fading golden light
Oh and baby, you looked alright

We’d been walking for a little while
Through some familiar town
We came across this neighbourhood
With tall trees all around

We saw a big white house with a big back porch
At a curve in the road
And it was like nothing I'd seen before
But at the same time it was like something I'd known

And you walked up to take a closer look
The way you always do
And this little kid came out the back door
And he was smiling at you

I think you asked him where his parents were
I think you picked him up
And he just grabbed your face and laughed at you
And me, I was overcome
Thinking
You were always gonna be the one
And I never felt that way about anyone
You were always gonna be the one
For me

And the kid changed from a boy to a girl
As you were walking down the steps
And I said, "Babe, you gotta put her back down
It isn’t our turn yet”

So you put her down and we said goodbye
And we walked around the bend
And I just had this feeling
That we'd be here again

And that you were always gonna be the one
And I kissed your face in the setting sun
And you were always gonna be the one
For me
For me
And you were always gonna be the one
For me
