Only When I'm Dreaming

Only When I'm Dreaming - Minnie Riperton

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 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

I am only dreaming when

I'm deeper in the arms

I am only dreaming when

I'm deeper in the arms

I am only dreaming when

I'm deeper in the arms

Birds are now in tune

Since I'm with you

Songs have sweet refrain

Since I'm with you

Only when I'm dreaming

Is there harmony and meaning

I am only dreaming when

I'm deeper in the arms

I am only dreaming when

I'm deeper in the arms

I am only dreaming when

I'm deeper in the arms

I am only dreaming when

I'm deeper in the arms
