Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So long ago
Was it in a dream?
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real
It seemed so real to me
[Verse 2]
Took a walk down the street
Through the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear, hear
Hear, hear
[Verse 3]
Somebody call out my name (John)
As it started to rain (John)
Two spirits dancing so strange
[Verse 4]
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
[Verse 5]
Dream, dream away
Magic in the air
Was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say
What more can I say?
[Verse 6]
On a river of sound
Through the mirror go around, around
I thought I could feel, feel
Feel, feel
[Verse 7]
Music touching my soul
Something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding
[Verse 8]
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
[Verse 9]
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé...
