(mary chapin carpenter)



She used to watch him from afar

She used to dream about him

And she'd wish upon a star

That one day he'd want her for his own

Throw caution to the wind

And with a grin

He'd take her home



She's something of a dreamer

Something of a fool

Something of a heartbreak

When she gives her heart to you



And she used to hear his voice at night

A sweet whisper from the shadows

Dancing with the backporch light

And she used to feel him in the wind

His warm breath upon her neck

And goosebumps up and down her skin



She's something of a dreamer

Something of a fool

Something of a heartbreak

When she gives her heart to you



Well she should have known by now

But that's the foolish part of her

She should have seen somehow

But a dreamer's never cured

When heartbreak fast approaches

When a love ain't truly love

He promised wine and roses

And she thought that was enough



She's something of a dreamer

Something of a fool

Something of a heartbreak

When she gives her heart to you
