The sheet music:
Lyrics
At last I’ve heard you say the things
I’ve longed for you to say
My hopes were never quite so high
I never felt as happy as I do today
And I know that you know why
Chorus:
By the way
Wasn’t that a dream last night
Seems I barely closed my eyes
And you were there
By the way
and to my complete surprise
You and I were dancing on a cloud somewhere
I held you in my arms
The joy of it was thrilling
And then I pleaded for a kiss
And you were willing, and so we kissed
Then I heard you say you care
By the way
Do say it now, as you did then
Or must I wait until I dream again
