I woke up with this feeling
There was something I needed to say
So I wrote you a song

Lately girl I’ve been dreamin’
Dreamin’ ’bout you all through the day
So I wrote you a song

Hope the words will be right
When I see you tonight
You’ll know how I feel
I’m no longer alone
Think I’ve found me a home
And I think it’s real
I woke up with this feeling
Haven’t felt it for quite some time
So I wrote you a song

All these thoughts I’ve been dreaming
Somehow I’ve got to make them right
Got to make them belong

Everytime that you’re here
Everytime that you’re near
Everything is real
I’m no longer alone
Think I’ve found me a home
And I think it’s real
So I wrote you a song
