Something very strange and mystic happened to me
Something realistic and as weird as can be
Something that I feared somehow is now endeared to me
What a funny feeling, odd and yet so true
Did a thing like this ever happen to you
Did you ever see a dream walking
Well, I did
Did you ever hear a dream talking
Well, I did
Did you ever have a dream thrill you
With "Will you be mine?"
Oh, it's so grand
And it's too, too divine
Did you ever see a dream dancing
Well, I did
Did a ever see a dream romancing
Well, I did
Did you ever see heaven right in your arms
Saying "I love you, I do"
Well, the dream that was walking
And the dream that was talking
And the heaven in my arms was you
