When I First Saw You
[Verse 1: CURTIS]
When I first saw you
I said, "Oh my."
I said, "Oh my, that's a dream, that's a dream."
I needed a dream when it all seemed to go bad
Then I found you
And I have had the most beautiful dreams
Any man's ever had
[Verse 2: CURTIS]
When I first saw you
I said, "Oh my
Oh my, that's my dream, that's my dream."
I needed a dream to make me strong
You were the only reason I've had to go on
[Chorus: CURTIS]
You are my dream
All the things I never knew
You are my dream
Who could believe they could ever come true?
And who could bеlieve the world would bеlieve in my dreams too?
[Verse 3: DEENA]
There comes a time when the child's got to grow
There comes a time when the woman's got to go
Mama said I am special
She said I've got to prove I am just as good
I'm even better than
[Pre-Chorus: DEENA & CURTIS]
That's what she would say
That's what she would say
"Shine, Deena, shine"
"Shine, Deena, shine"
"Shine, Deena, shine"
You're gonna shine
And I'm gonna shine
[Chorus: DEENA & CURTIS]
You are my dream
Now I've got dreams of my own
All the things I could never be
Dreams you've never known
You are my dream
They'll never take my dream from me
[Outro: CURTIS]
When I first saw you
I said, "Oh my, oh my
That's my dream."
