"If This Is A Dream" lyrics

December 1983
She steps off the train in Coventry
Her hometown of 20 years now
Her friends, they bailed on the show tonight
But she loves the theatre, loves the lights
As he walks out on the stage that night

And he sees her now
Sun rays bursting through clouds
And his whole world's upside down

If this is a dream don't wake me up
If this is a dream don't let it stop
Could have spent a lifetime searching for
This kind of love (This kind of love)
This kind of love (This kind of love)
If this is a dream don't wake me up

And he hears her laughter in the crowd
She's sitting next to his best friend now
He hopes and prays he'll bring her to the party
Her cardigan was a cashmere blue
He's wearing double denim too
She walks into the pub
Sees him smiling

And she sees him now
Like her rock somehow
And her whole world's upside down

If this is a dream don't wake me up
If this is a dream don't let it stop
Could have spent a lifetime searching for
This kind of love (This kind of love)
This kind of love (This kind of love)
If this is a dream don't wake me up
If this is a dream don't let it stop
Could have spent a lifetime searching for
This kind of love (This kind of love)
This kind of love (This kind of love)
If this is a dream don't wake me up

December 1993
They're putting lights on the Christmas tree
In the tiny flat in London that they love
The baby's kicking hard tonight
'Cause she loves the music that you write
He puts down his guitar with the widest smile

If this is a dream don't wake me up
If this is a dream don't let it stop
