Yes, she was beautiful 
And she smiled at me 
As she passed my way 
In the heat of the noon day sun 
Ohh the promise of those eyes 
Got me hypnotized 
I ask her to stay 
And continue what she's begun 
She stayed and I wondered why 
As the time flew by 
Day faded away into the night 
It all felt so perfect 
When it dawned on me 
I saw the light 
She was a dream 
Disappearing as quick 
As she came into view 
When I awoke to find 
She was a dream 
Tried to get myself back to sleep 
To chase her shadow along the night 
Keep this illusion alive 
I felt that we'd met before 
On another shore some other time 
She was a love of mine 
Ohh she was a dream 
Thought that my ship had come in 
Then I awoke to find 
She was a dream 
Every night I lay me down to sleep 
I pray that I'll find her again 
Though I know in my heart 
She's a dream 
She's a dream 
When I think of that island day 
The ocean spray the burning sand 
It all seems so real 
And if we ever meet again 
Somewhere out there 
I know just how I feel 
She was a dream 
Every night I lay me down to sleep 
I pray that I'll find her again 
Thought I know in my heart 
She's a dream 
She's a dream 
Ohh, I know 
She's a dream 
Just my imagination running away with me 
Ooh I don't even know her name 
Ooh gonna find her - gotta find her 
She's a Dream 
She's a Dream
