I'm having day dreams bout night things
In the middle of the afternoon
And while my hands make a living 
My mind's home loving you
I'm having day dreams about night things
In the middle of the afternoon
And every night you make my daydreams come true

Well all day long while I'm working in town
Time slows down to a crawl
When I'm not thinking about you 
I'm checking the clock on the wall
Then it's goodbye factory and hello loving
There's a smile across my face
'Cause I'm back in the arms of your sweet love
Where my thoughts have been all day

I'm having day dreams bout night things
In the middle of the afternoon
And while my hands make a living my mind's home loving you
I'm having day dreams about night things
In the middle of the afternoon
And every night you make my daydreams come true

Yeah, every night you make my day dreams come true
