Something Of A Dreamer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She used to watch him from afar
She used to dream about him
and she'd wish upon a star
That one day she'd have him for her own
Throw caution to the wind
And with a grin
He'd take her home
She's something of a dreamer
somethig of a fool
something of a heart break
when she gives her heart to you
And she used to hear his voice at nigth
a sweet whisper from the shadows
dancing with the backporch light
and she used to feel him in the wind
his warm breath upon her neck and the goosebumps up and down her skin
She's something of a dreamer
somethig of a fool
something of a heart break
when she gives her heart to you
Well she should have known by now
but that's the foolish part of her
she should of seen some how
but a dreamer's never cured
when heartbreaks fast approach
when a love ain't truly love
he promised wine and roses
and she thought it was enough
