Lyrics
Met you by surprise
I didn’t realize
That my life would change for ever
Saw you standing there
I didn’t know I’d care
There was something special in the air
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as if it’s meant to be
Dreams are my reality
A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems all right
Although it’s only fantasy
If you do exist
Honey, don’t resist
Show me your new way of loving
Tell me that it’s true
Show me what to do
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
Maybe my foolishness is past
And maybe now at last
I’ll see how the real thing can be
Dreams are my reality
A wondrous world where I like to be
I dream of holding you all night
And holding you seems right
Perhaps that’s my reality
Met you by surprise
I didn’t realize
That my life would change for ever
Tell me that it’s true
Feelings that are new
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality
A wondrous world where I like to be
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
Although it’s only fantasy
Dreams are my reality
I like to dream of you
Close to me
I dream of loving in the night
And loving you seems right
Perhaps that’s my reality
