By the way,

Wasn't that a dream last night?

Seems I barely closed my eyes and you were there . . .

By the way,

And to my complete surprise,

You and I were dancing on a cloud somewhere . . .



I held you in my arms,

The joy of it was thrilling . . .

And then I pleaded for a kiss

And you were willing . . .



And, so we kissed,

Then I heard you say you cared,

By the way, do say it now as you did then,

Or must I wait until I dream again?







And then I pleaded for a kiss

And you were willing . . .



And, so we kissed,

Then I heard you say you cared,

By the way, do say it now as you did then,

Or must I wait until I dream again?
