a girl can dream lyrics

When I was a child the story would say
Somebody would sweep you off your feet someday
That's what I hoped would happen with you
More than you could know

I wanted to tell you that my heart's in your hands
I prayed for the day that I would get the chance
Just when I worked up the courage to try, much to my surprise
You had somebody else 'cause these feelings I keep to myself

I may never get to hold you so tight
I may never get to kiss you goodnight
I may never get to look deep in your eyes
Or so it seems

I always will be wishing you were mine
I think about what could be all the time
All the happiness that I could find
Baby, a girl can dream

From the moment I wake up 'til I fall asleep
I imagine you not with her but with me
Talking and laughing, sharing our dreams it's just a fantasy
'Cause you had somebody else 'cause these feelings I keep to myself

I may never get to hold you so tight
I may never get to kiss you goodnight
I may never get to look deep in your eyes
Or so it seems

I always will be wishing you were mine
I think about what could be all the time
All the happiness that I could find
Baby, a girl can dream

A girl can dream it's true
And to call you my own
It's the sweetest dream in all

I may never get to hold you so tight
I may never get to kiss you goodnight
I may never get to look deep in your eyes
Or so it seems

I always will be wishing you were mine
I think about what could be all the time
All the happiness that I could find
Baby, a girl can dream, oh, a girl can dream
