The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Stand in a line like a parking meter Am I all alone (he's all alone) A vision of mine is becoming clear Its all so new it can't be true Sometimes the words appear in my head Sometimes I'm falling out of my bed Oh, is it a dream What does it mean Oh is it a dream What have I seen I know a man he's really awful nice He isn't here We whiled away an evening maybe two But what did that man really do Sometimes I feel like walking away Sometimes there's something I've got to say Oh, is it a dream What does it mean Oh is it a dream What have I seen Then suddenly Like a fly in a cup of tea I'm stirred and no longer free To fly away I think back to the other life That was borrowed the other night Could It be that it just might Drive me wild Oh is it a dream Oh is it a dream Oh is it a dream Oh is it a dream Am I dreaming?
