A Girl Can Dream

Mariah Carey · Other Songs - Mariah Carey

Hoh woh hoh, hoo hoo



When I was a child, the story would say

Somebody will sweep you off your feet some day

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 that I would get the chance

Just when I worked up the courage to try

Much to my surprise



You had somebody else, yeah

'Cause 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 wishin' you were mine

I'll 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 till I fall asleep

I imagine you're not with her but with me



Talkin' and laughin', sharin' our dreams

But it's just a fantasy



'Cause you have somebody else

'Cause these feelings I keep to myself, eh yeah



[Repeat CHORUS on the background]I may never get to hold you

Goodnight

Baby, I'm wishing

Tonight, tonight, tonight

All the time



[Bridge:]A girl can dream, it's true

And to call you my own

It's the sweetest dream I know

Ooh



[Repeat CHORUS on the background]So tight

No, no, no, never, ooh

Wishin' you were mine

Could be all the time



Hoo

Hoh

Hoo
