Lyrics
If I had a castle by the ocean
A crown of jewels to place upon your head
Then I'd build a dynasty
From the north to south end seas
And I'd make you my once and future king
If I had a coat of many colors
Warm enough to wrap you when the winter wind sets in
Then I'd fly you eagle free, faster than your destiny
And I'd love you my once and future queen
Tell me that you love me, one more time
Lady, it feels so good to hear you say you're mine
Yes, it's true, I'll love you one more time
And I'll, I'll never go, I'll never leave, I'm gonna give you all of me
You will always be my once and future dream
Oh, baby, sing out, say it again
You will always be my once and future dream
Oh, lady-lady, ough, girl
If I swam so deep into the ocean
And I found Atlantis or the Kingdom of Neptune
Then I'd give them both to you and darling, if that didn't do
Then I'd give you my once and future dream
Tell me that you love me, one more time
Baby, it feels so good to hear you say, you're mine
Yes, it's true, I'll love you one more time
And I'll never go, I'll never leave, I'm gonna give you all of me
You will always be my once and future dream
Oh, I wanna talk about your love, tell you, darling
Baby, you will always be my once and future dream
Oh, oh baby, oh, oh, girl
You are my dream
(Somewhere in time)
You are my dream
(Where eagles spread their wings to fly)
You are my dream
(When you were the sparkle)
You are my dream
(And you were the tear in my eye)
You are my dream
(I don't need nobody else)
You are my dream
(But you, baby)
You are my dream
You are my dream
And if I give my world to you
Then you will always be, always be, my love
My once and future dream
My all, my everything, oh, love, oh, love
I wanna talk about your love, tell you, darling
Baby, you will always, you will always
Be my once and future dream
Future dream, future dream
You will always be my special love
Be my future love, be my one and only love
You will always be my girl, be my, be my
Be my once and future dream
I'll see you in my dreams
Would you wait for me?
Would you be there in my dreams?
Would you hold me tight, would you love me right?
Would you be there, would you be there, my, baby
Somewhere across the galaxy
You'll be waiting there for me in my dreams
Ooh, in my dreams, can you creep on in my dreams
Would you creep on into my dreams
Would you be there in my dreams?
Would you be there in my dreams?
Would you, would you be there in my dreams, baby?
'Cause I'll be waiting for you
