Daydream

Daydream

Daydream, why do you haunt me so?
Deep in a rosy glow, the face of my love you show.
Daydream, I walk along on air,
Building a castle there for me and my love to share...

Don't know the time, lordy, I'm in a daze.
Sun in the sky while I moon around, feeling hazy...

Daydream, don't break my reverie,
Until I find that she is daydreaming just like me...

Daydream, why do you haunt me so while I'm in this rosy glow?
Bring back my love to me...
