Mary Chapin Carpenter - Something Of A Dreamer lyrics

(mary chapin carpenter) She used to watch him from afar She used to dream about him And she'd wish upon a star That one day he'd want her for his own Throw caution to the wind And with a grin He'd take her home She's something of a dreamer Something of a fool Something of a heartbreak When she gives her heart to you And she used to hear his voice at night A sweet whisper from the shadows Dancing with the backporch light And she used to feel him in the wind His warm breath upon her neck And goosebumps up and down her skin She's something of a dreamer Something of a fool Something of a heartbreak When she gives her heart to you Well she should have known by now But that's the foolish part of her She should have seen somehow But a dreamer's never cured When heartbreak fast approaches When a love ain't truly love He promised wine and roses And she thought that was enough She's something of a dreamer Something of a fool Something of a heartbreak When she gives her heart to you
