Lyrics

I Had a Dream

[Verse 1]

I had a dream last night

Last night I had a dream

Everything was black and white

And it smelled like gasoline

We stood in the corner and I held you tight

I kissed your mouth 'til my head got light

Last night when I had a dream

[Verse 2]

I had a dream last night

Last night I had a dream

Birds were flying left and right

Through the light of a movie screen

Everyone was looking for something to do

I even thought I had a chance with you

Last night when I had a dream
