Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I was dreaming when I jumped the lights Busy scaling dizzy heights Hummed a somewhat strangely familiar tune My eyes as wide as open books And from my ears upon two hooks A big smile was hanging there like a crescent moon It sometimes comes as quite a shock When the gods of love decide to knock You're in a state of disarray Just when you least expect it you'll never know a better day Day dreaming fever taking over No misdemeanour stone cold sober The officer who stopped me said: "lucky you didn't wind up dead!" And he guessed that I was over and above I hoped he'd only caution me, and I made a plea for clemency On the grounds that I was only drunk on love Day dreaming fever taking over No misdemeanour stone cold sober It sometimes comes as quite a shock When the gods of love decide to knock You're in a state of disarray Just when you least expect it you'll never know a better day
