Mariah Carey Lyrics
"A Girl Can Dream"

Hoh woh hoh, hoo hoo

When I was a child, the story would say
Somebody will sweep you off your feet some day
That's what I hoped would happen with you
More than you could know

I wanted to tell you that my heart's in your hands
I prayed for the day that I would get the chance
Just when I worked up the courage to try
Much to my surprise

You had somebody else, yeah
'Cause these feelings I keep to myself

[Chorus:]I may never get to hold you so tight
I may never get to kiss you goodnight
I may never get to look deep in your eyes
Or so it seems

I always will be wishin' you were mine
I'll think about what could be all the time
All the happiness that I could find
Baby, a girl can dream

From the moment I wake up till I fall asleep
I imagine you're not with her but with me

Talkin' and laughin', sharin' our dreams
But it's just a fantasy

'Cause you have somebody else
'Cause these feelings I keep to myself, eh yeah

[Repeat CHORUS on the background]I may never get to hold you
Goodnight
Baby, I'm wishing
Tonight, tonight, tonight
All the time

[Bridge:]A girl can dream, it's true
And to call you my own
It's the sweetest dream I know
Ooh

[Repeat CHORUS on the background]So tight
No, no, no, never, ooh
Wishin' you were mine
Could be all the time

Hoo
Hoh
Hoo
