When I Dream

When I dream fills my imagination 
my mind knows no bound 
what could stop my dreams be true 
just dream to find it found 

It can be a mansion way up high 
even any gift you want to buy 
catch a flight to lovely Paris 
but to dream of you I cry 

Be a singer or a crown 
get a ticket to the moon 
be a beauty driving men insane 
maybe my dream will come along soon 

But no matter what I'll dream 
hoping and wishing it'll come true 
for someday maybe it will 
what I believe I will do 

To believe and dream of you 
makes it all crystal clear 
so don't stop dream on 
have hope always never to fear

AUTHOR NOTES: Based on my favourite song
When I Dream 
Crystal Gayle 
Written by Sandy Mason 
I could have a mansion that is higher than the trees 
I could have all the gifts I want and never ask please 
I could fly to Paris, oh, it's at my beck and call 
Why do I go through life with nothing at all? 

But when I dream, I dream of you 
Maybe someday you will come true 

I can be the singer or the clown in every room 
I can even call someone to take me to the moon 
I can put my makeup on and drive the men insane 
I can go to bed alone and never know his name 

But when I dream, I dream of you 
Maybe someday you will come true 
But when I dream, I dream of you 
Maybe someday you will come true
