When She Dreams Lyrics

In her dreams she sees a place close to the water

Where she can watch the moonlight dancing on the waves

But when she wakes up and pours her morning coffee

She starts another ordinary, prairie day

And there are miles between her world and where that place lies

And there are years between her life and those sweet dreams

But there's no time to think about that in the daylight

Because her life's so full it's busting at the seams

She's got the house, the chores, the kids in sports

And a job so the bills get paid

Got a man that needs a little tenderness

At the end of his long day

She's got people counting on her

She's pulled a hundred different ways.

But when she dreams

Oh when she dreams

In here dreams she sees a place close to the ocean

Where she can smell the salt

And hear those rumbling waves

Where there is time and space to put her gifts in motion

But when she wakes up life isn't quite that way

She's got the house, the chores, the kids in sports

And a job so the bills get paid

Got a man that needs a little tenderness

At the end of his long day

She's got people counting on her

She's pulled a hundred different ways.

But when she dreams

Oh when she dreams

When she's awake she knows

There's nothing that she'd change about her life

She loves being a mother, and she loves being his wife

They're just running 'round in circles

They're so busy now that it seems

That the only time she slows up is in those dreams

'Cause when she dreams, she dreams that her husband's still her husband

And the kids she loves are the same ones she has there

The only difference is the time they spend together

There seems to be a lot more time and a lot less care

She's got the house, the chores, the kids in sports

And a job so the bills get paid

She's got a man that needs a little tenderness

At the end of his long day

She's got people counting on her

She's pulled a hundred different ways

But when she dreams

Oh when she dreams, she dreams

But when she dreams

Oh when she dreams, she dreams
