I was only dreaming, I was only dreaming,
I was only dreaming so that I could run
I was running through the forest
with a wool pack on my heels
When I saw you running ahead of me
And I shouted, yes I shouted
Marianne, won't you wait for me
I swear I heard you laughing
Please, oh please don't let me die
Please, oh please, don't let me die
Now the angels were singing
when I saw you by my side
And I reached out, held you oh so tight
But you melted, yes you melted,
and the water on the ground
Are the tears that fell from
Please, oh please, don't let me die
Then I woke up, looked at the walls of my place,
I was only dreamin' I was only dreamin' so glad I could cry
I was only dreamin' I was only
dreamin' I was only dreamin'
Please, oh please, don't let die
