I could almost feel your breath

I was that close to you

I could have picked your pocket if I'd wanted to

It was all to good to be true, all to good to be true

I got that far, 'cause that's the way dreams are



I could hear a guitar playing some old romantic tune

You said why don't you stay and I said yes too soon

I was almost over the moon, almost over the moon

I got that far 'cause that's the way dreams are



Don't wanna wake up and find there's nobody, nobody waking with me

I wanna spend my time with somebody, somebody like, easy and free

I was almost there in your arms, almost there in your arms

I got that far 'cause that's the way dreams are



We made plans and we made love

We said what lovers say

Swore we'd do it all again another day

I could feel you slipping away, feel you slipping away

I got that far 'cause thats the way 

dreams   are
