[Verse 1] This is no dream, oh, it's real This is not a story There was a girl There is a girl It's always the same So I know her face Carries that certain glow, that grace This is happening, it's not a game [Pre-Chorus] I keep the room exactly still Afraid one breath could break the spell [Chorus] I know she walks in my dream Fast asleep as I may seem I feel her hand, a fleeting touch I want her more than words can say I know she walks in my dream Pulling me somewhere unseen If morning takes her far from me I'll close my eyes and let her lead [Verse 2] Every time the curtains move I look up expecting her A quiet shape beside the door A question I can't answer There was a girl There is a girl The same eyes return again And every night I lose the thread Then find her at the edge of sleep [Pre-Chorus] I keep the room exactly still Afraid one breath could break the spell [Chorus] I know she walks in my dream Fast asleep as I may seem I feel her hand, a fleeting touch I want her more than words can say I know she walks in my dream Pulling me somewhere unseen If morning takes her far from me I'll close my eyes and let her lead [Bridge] Maybe she is waiting Somewhere I have never been Maybe all this longing Is the door I'm entering When the daylight finds me And the bed is cold again I will hold her outline Till the night begins [Final Chorus] I know she walks in my dream Fast asleep as I may seem I feel her hand, a fleeting touch I want her more than words can say I know she walks in my dream Closer now than she has been If morning takes her far from me I'll close my eyes and let her lead [Outro] There was a girl There is a girl It's always the same I know her face
