Lyric
We both have a morning cup of coffeeAnd with tender love you reach and touch my handAnd my son comes in and says good morning daddyAnd I say how’s daddy’s little manThen I woke up from dreaming I woke up from dreamingI keep dreaming you’re not gone but I’d found myself aloneWhen I woke up from dreamingWe’re both making plans for the futureOf the joy that we want to give our sonWe’d say almost enough to buy a new homeA home filled with love and funThen I woke up from dreaming…Then I woke up from dreaming
