When I was a child the story would say 
Somebody would sweep you off your feet someday 
That's what I hoped would happen with you 
More than you could know 
I wanted to tell you that my heart's in your hands 
I prayed for the day when I would get the chance 
Just when I worked up the courage to try 
Much to my surprise 
You had somebody else 
Cuz these feelings I keep to myself 
 
[CHORUS:] 
I may never get to hold you so tight 
I may never get to kiss you goodnight 
I may never get to look deep in your eyes 
Or so it seems 
I always will be wishing you were mine 
I think about what could be all the time 
All the happiness that I could find 
Baby a girl can dream 
 
From the moment I wake up 
'Til I fall asleep  
I imagine you not with her but with me 
Talkin' and laughin' 
Sharin' our dreams 
It's just a fantasy 
Cuz you had somebody else 
Cuz these feelings I keep to myself  
 
[REPEAT CHORUS] 
 
A girl can dream it's true 
And to call you my own 
Is the sweetest dream of all 
 
[REPEAT CHORUS] 
 
Oh a girl can dream
