If I'm Only Dreaming
I met a girl just the other day
She said she was just passing through this way
She asked for directions then gave me a wink
And her crooked little smile caused me to stop… and think
Then, in a casual, off-handed way
I asked her what she was doing a little later that day
Could I meet her for a drink… say at quarter past eight?
She tossed her hair and said, “Ok, you’ve got a date”
My mind was spinning, where will this go?
If I’m only dreaming I don’t want to know
I conjured a table and ordered a beer
And patiently waited for her to appear
One beer then two, maybe seven or ten
I began to doubt if she’d show, but oh what happened then!
She strolled right on in with a friend on her arm
Another stunning lady… 4-alarm
She quietly admitted that she lived, well, not far away
Glanced at my empty bottles and added, “Do you need a place to stay?”
The bar was spinning, where will this go?
If I’m only dreaming I don’t want to know
They had a loft with a fully stocked bar
The first girl reached in my pocket and took the keys to my car
The second girl took the shoes from my feet
Almost before I could find a seat!
The rest of what happened would be once in a lifetime
Except there were two, and playing favorites would be a crime
They were in love with each other, that much was clear
I was just glad to have been invited here
The room was spinning, where will this go?
If I’m only dreaming I don’t want to know
The next morning was more than just another day
It was explained to me while my hangover went away
They were in love and together, that observation was true
But they weren’t too happy just being two
The seeds I provided as I rolled on their floor
Had the potential to double their number to four
If I could handle it, I could see their… my… I mean our children grow
The last twenty-four hours has changed the entire world that I know!
The world was spinning, where will this go?
If I’m only dreaming I don’t want to know
