SONG LYRICS

Once, I Had A Dream... 
of finding a love, that would fill my heart with joy - but now you're here, I don't know what to do, I'm so in love with you. 

When you press your lips to mine, well I, can hardly breathe 
You have brought me happiness, that I cannot believe, dear. 

Once, I Had A Dream... 
of finding a heart, that was meant for me - but how was I to know, which heart was right for me, I just couldn't see... 

But now I know, and you are mine. Standing here - right before me 
Why did it take so long to find, the only one I had in mind? 
Now I know that you are real. I no longer have to dream.
