Verse 1
What am I doing here?
In this place I've never been Green grass beneath my feet Cool breeze against my skin I try to breathe it in
I stand and watch the trees
I look around this field
At things I've never seen This seems just like a dream But feels so real to me
I run beneath the sun
To find a piece of me
I hear the waves crashing Feel excitement deep inside Stop at the edge of the cliff Then I leap into the sky
Chorus
Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming
Verse 2
I'm soaring way up high
My heartbeat's loud as thunder Paradise in the sky
Fills my eyes up with wonder
A palace made of gold
That sits above the clouds Beautiful fireworks
Blast off above the crowds They start to gather round Provide me with the crown They tell me I'm their king
And then they all kneel down Don't know if I'm still dreaming But know that they believe in Me so I just can't leave them
Chorus
Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming
Bridge Repeat 4x
I don't want to leave this dream But I got to get back to reality
Chorus Repeat 2x
Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming Please don't wake me up
Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Please don't wake me up Cause I'm dreaming
