| It happened not long ago, as crazy as it seems
|
| A girl I didn’t even know came to me in my dream
|
| And although I don’t know her name
|
| I was so sorry when the morning came
|
| And I, I, I, I said I
|
| 'Cause I know by the way I feel, she’s got to be real (fa-la-la-la)
|
| Imagine the Mona Lisa mixed with a girl from a Playboy book
|
| Imagine Venus with arms, and then you’ll know how she looks
|
| She’s the prettiest little girl that I’ve ever seen
|
| She comes to me always in my dream
|
| And I, oh I, said I, oh I
|
| 'Cause I know by the way I feel, she’s got to be real (fa-la-la-la)
|
| I told the Sandman, 'help me if you can, man
|
| Get me her address, and I’ll do the rest'
|
| 'Cause only in my dreams do my arms enfold her
|
| I’m sleeping on my job just so I can hold her
|
| Everywhere I go, I’m searching here and there
|
| And every girl I see, I just have to stop and stare
|
| 'Cause I need her love, both night and day
|
| So I can stop sleeping, sleeping my life away
|
| And I, I said I, oh I, oh I
|
| 'Cause I know by the way I feel, she’s got to be real
|
| (she's got to be real)
|
| Yeah, she’s got to be real, yeah
|
| 'Cause I know (she's got to be real)
|
| Yeah, by the way I feel… |
