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
