It's winter-fall Read skies are gleaming, oh Sea-gulls are flyin' over Swans are floatin' by Smoking chimney-tops Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming? The nights draw in There's a silky moon up in the sky, yeah Children are fantasizing Grown-ups are standin' by What a super feeling Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming? Woh-woh-woh-woh (Dreaming) So quiet and peaceful (Dreaming) Tranquil and blissful (Dreaming) There's a kind of magic in the air (Dreaming) What a truly magnificent view (Dreaming) A breathtaking scene (With the dreams of the world In the palm of your hand) (Dreaming) A cozy fireside chat (Dreaming) A little this, a little that (Dreaming) Sound of merry laughter skippin' by (Dreaming) Gentle rain beatin' on my face (Dreaming) What an extraordinary place! (And the dream of the child Is the hope of the, hope of the man) It's all so beautiful Like a landscape painting in the sky, yeah Mountains are zoomin' higher, uh Little girls scream an' cry My world is spinnin', and spinnin', and spinnin' It's unbelievable Sends me reeling Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming? Oooh, it's bliss
