A Dream - Donny Hathaway

I remember the first time I saw you

It was in some type of golden place

And as I became afraid

You said it need not be the case

Then you took me in your arms

To try to show your loving charms

And you never laughed at me

As we began to love each other tenderly

I tried to hold you close

Like a man of experience

But it seemed you already knew

That this would be my very first chance

To hold someone

In my arms to try to show my loving charms

All my nerves became firm and straight

Just because I wanted to make love to you

As our love progressed

There was something I couldn’t understand

Each time I kissed your lips

We seemed to move to another land

Then I saw you in the shower of rain

That came from the sky

And as you began to vanish away

It was then to my sadness

That I realized

It was a dream

It was a dream

All your love and your charms was

Just a dream

Dream it was a dream
