She left her shoes out on the beach, She left my dreams just out of reach; She left her footprints in the sand, She was a bird right in the hand. I met a girl that made me laugh, She left a faded photograph; I thought I heard a siren song, I sang along but I was... I was only dreaming, I was only dreaming... Visions in my head, Talking in my sleep, Turning in my bed, Life was so complete, Her shoes were on the beach, But I was only dreaming. I met a girl that talked in rhyme, I met a girl who took her time; I saw the ocean in her eyes, I saw myself unrecognized. And all the stars up in the sky, Fell down like rain and made me cry; I held the world right in my hands, I held her close, but I was... I was only dreaming, I was only dreaming. Visions in my head, Talking in my sleep, Turning in my bed, Life was so complete, Her shoes were on the beach, But I was only dreaming.
