When I was a child the story would say   Somebody would sweep you off your feet someday   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 'cause these feelings I keep to myself      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 wishing you were mine   I 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 'til I fall asleep   I imagine you not with her but with me   Talking and laughing, sharing our dreams it's just a fantasy   'Cause you had somebody else 'cause these feelings I keep to myself      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 wishing you were mine   I think about what could be all the time   All the happiness that I could find   Baby, a girl can dream      A girl can dream it's true   And to call you my own   It's the sweetest dream in all      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 wishing you were mine   I think about what could be all the time   All the happiness that I could find   Baby, a girl can dream, oh, a girl can dream
