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 when I would get the chance   Just when I worked up the courage to try   Much to my surprise   You had somebody else   Cuz 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 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   Talkin' and laughin'   Sharin' our dreams   It's just a fantasy   Cuz you had somebody else   Cuz these feelings I keep to myself       [REPEAT CHORUS]      A girl can dream it's true   And to call you my own   Is the sweetest dream of all      [REPEAT CHORUS]      Oh a girl can dream
