[Intro]

[Verse]
CI was dreaming of my lEmove, with her hair tied up above
That fair fFace that lights my sCoul, she must have stolen from an aGngel
CWe were dancing by the sEmea, said how she’d be missing mCe,
With the sweetness oFf a song set fCree, a song sung over and over and oGver
CAnd I’ve seen, dreams of heaven bEmlue, Sitiched and fFused as one we fClew
’till I aFwoke again and kCnew, that my hear is always waGiting 
[Chorus]
FStill I wonder wChy I follow her, Gwonder why I caCre
As I lFift my faCce up frFom my hDmands, aAmgain I find here tGhere
She’s the drFead of my niFghtmare, she’s the lAmove oGf my lAmife,
You see a dDmream can be the hFighest point we rGeach within a life 
[Verse]
COn the breeze the spirit mEmuse, she calls me oFut, she leaves me cClues
She sings ”sFean-nós” she sings the bClues, and her fool again pushed oGver 
CWe were dancing by the sEmea, said how’d sFhe’d been missing mCe,
With the sweetness oFf a song set fCree, a song sung over and over and oGver 
[Chorus]
FStill I wonder wChy I follow her, Gwonder why I caCre
As I lFift my faCce up frFom my hDmands, aAmgain I find here tGhere
She’s the drFead of my niFghtmare, she’s the lAmove oGf my lAmife,
You see a dDmream can be the hFighest point we rGeach within a life 
[Verse]
CWe were dancing by the sEmea, said how’d sFhe’d been missing Cme,
With the sweetness oFf a song set fCree, a song sung over and over and oFver 
[Chorus]
FStill I wonder wChy I follow her, Gwonder why I caCre
As I lFift my faCce up frFom my hDmands, aAmgain I find here tGhere
She’s the drFead of my niFghtmare, she’s the lAmove oGf my lAmife,
You see a dDmream can be the hFighest point we rGeach within a life 
[Outro]
CWithing a life, a dFream can be
