Only When I'm Dreaming - Minnie Ripperton

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
