Lyrics
Verse 1
I used to build my dreams about you
Let you dance across my mind
Moving in and out of focus
But I never got you right
Chorus
Even in my wildest dreams
You’d never end up next to me
Underneath the moon all tangled up
I still don’t understand how you got to be my man
I get so much more than I dreamed up
In real love
Verse 2
It doesn’t happen like the movies
But kind of like a song
That’s slow and sweet and quiet
Leaved you wanting more
Chorus
Even in my wildest dreams
You’d never end up next to me
Underneath the moon all tangled up
I still don’t understand how you got to be my man
I get so much more than I dreamed up
In real love
Bridge:
It ain’t a fairy tale or a rose garden
A sunset walk, things get hard
But its real and its good
And its more than I think I deserve
Chorus
Even in my wildest dreams
You’d never end up next to me
Underneath the moon all tangled up
I still don’t understand how you got to be my man
I get so much more than I dreamed up
I get so much more than I dreamed up
In real love
In real love
