Did you ever dream at night, dream that you were falling
I have dreamt I'm falling right into someone's arms
Who's that someone with the arms waiting for your heart
Someone I resemble, the same eyes have I

I'm always dreaming that I'm falling for
Somebody mighty like you
When I'm not dreaming, then I'm falling for
Somebody mighty like you

Why don't she try to coax me, I'll answer yes
Fooling around provokes me, why can't she guess
I'm always dreaming that I'm falling for
Somebody mighty like you

Why don't you come and give me all of your charms
Why don't you let me take you right in my arms
I'm always dreaming that I'm falling for
Somebody mighty like you
