Streetlights

I heard a voice come through on my telephone line
Told me that it was your time
I thought that they were fooling
They were fooling me
And then I remember having this dream of mine
When it came down on me
I was told by a friend of mine
That it don't matter if your dreams, they bother you
Your dreams won't happen unless you only want them to
So I asked him for a ride
He said, "Hop on board, girl
I been waitin' here for you"
I thought I had nothin' left to lose
Where'd you say you'd be tonight
Streetlights are all I see
All I wanted on that ride
Was just a little kindness, a little kindness shown my way
I found myself runnin' out of ideas on how to say
It just got to be somethin' more than I could take
But that summer somehow we were havin' fun
Your magic took me by surprise
Where'd you say you'd be tonight
Streetlights are all I see
And now I know the feelin's right
Yes I know the feelin's right
'Cause just last night you came into my dreams
Yes you did, yes you did
I heard a voice come through on my telephone line
Told me that it was your time
I thought that they were fooling
They were fooling me
And then I remember having this dream of mine
When it came down on me
I said it came down on me—Oh
Where'd you say you'd be tonight
Streetlights are all I see
And now I know the feelin's right
'Cause just last night you came into my dreams
I heard a voice come through on my telephone line
Told me that it was your time
