I dreamt I saw a girl walking away from me.
She stopped to look, but I stood motionless:
Fear overcame me so I let her pass me by.
As I lay in my bed, in and out of dreaming
My phone rang and rang…and rang. In my dream
I saw the phone against her ear, but I did not wake.
With my eyes wide open you came into my life.
You stop and look; you call and call and call,
And my heart knows: reach out, answer, it’s her.
