She'll come to me in a dream
And I don't even know her name
A pretty mark upon her breast

To signify her from the rest
But her and I are just the same
Building bridges outta fame

She stands upon a dinner plate
And tells me that I'll have to wait


(Oooh, Wait for me)
I know it won't be easy
What a thing

To believe
In a dream


Perhaps I knew her long ago
I wrote her poems at nine years old
But then I did become a man

The letter slipped right through my hands
Practiced all my wit and charm
Had many girls on every arm

I learned the depths of love and hate
But never did learn how to wait


Wait for you
You say it like it's easy to do
What a thing

To believe
In a dream


I hope you know that all my life
I have been searching for a wife
A partner and a confidant

The girl who wants the things I want
A girl who doesn't come along
Cuz she's already where I'm goin'

I stand upon a broken stage
I beg ya darling, please, please wait


Wait for me
I know it won't be easy
What a thing

To believe
In a dream
