Lyrics
We were perfect strangers
And we were worlds apart
Yet here am I so close to you
It was so fantastic the way it came to pass
That no one would believe it true
Suddenly we were part of fate’s peculiar schemes
This is how it happened strange as it seems
Chorus
Two dreams met
They knew of two hearts that were lonely
That could be so happy if only
They found romance
Two dreams met
They said we must go out and find them
And then as we tiptoe behind them
We’ll make them dance
A band was softly playing
Sweet music filled the air
“Turn around, ” my dream kept saying
I did, and you were there
Then two hearts met
A beautiful love affair started
The dreams winked their eyes and departed
They knew that their work was done
For two lonely hearts were one
