Lyrics Only When I'm Dreaming - Minnie Ripperton

Only When I'm Dreaming

Birds sing out of tune, songs with no refrain
Nested in purple trees, nothing seems to rhyme
Only when I’m dreaming
Is there harmony and meaning
Only when I’m dreaming of you
Empty hourglass;
running out of time
Yesterday is here
Now will never pass
Only when I’m dreaming
Is there harmony and meaning
I am only dreaming when I’m
Deeper in the arms, the arms of love
I am only dreaming when I’m
In the arms of love
In the arms, the arms of love
I’m only dreaming
In the arms of love
Deeper in the arms, the arms of love
I am only dreaming when I’m
In the arms of love
Ooh ooh, sweet baby
Deeper in the arms, the arms of love
I’m only dreaming
In the arms of love
Birds are now in tune
Since I’m with you
Songs have sweet refrain
Since I’m with you
Whoa-oh, only when I’m dreaming is there
Harmony and meaning
Whoa-oh, I am only dreaming when I’m
Deeper in the arms, the arms of love
I am only dreaming when I’m
In the arms of love
Deeper in the arms, the arms of love
I am only dreaming when I’m
In the arms of love
Deeper in the arms, the arms of love
I am only dreaming when I’m
In the arms of love
Deeper in the arms, the arms of love
I’m only dreaming
In the arms of love
I’m only dreaming
