December 1983
She steps off the train in Coventry
Her hometown of twenty years now
Her friends, they bailed on the show tonight
But she loves the theatre, loves the lights
As he walks out on the stage that night

And he sees her now
Sun rays bursting through clouds
And his whole world's upside down

If this is a dream, don't wake me up
If this is a dream, don't let it stop
Could have spent a lifetime searching for
This kind of love
(This kind of love)
This kind of lovе
(This kind of love)
If this is a dream, don't wake mе up

And he hears her laughter in the crowd
She's sitting next to his best friend now
He hopes and prays he'll bring her to the party
Her cardigan was a cashmere blue
He's wearing double denim too
She walks into the pub, sees him smiling

And she sees him now
Like her rock somehow
And her whole world's upside down

If this is a dream, don't wake me up
If this is a dream, don't let it stop
Could have spent a lifetime searching for
This kind of love
(This kind of love)
This kind of love
(This kind of love)
If this is a dream, don't wake me up
If this is a dream, don't let it stop
Could have spent a lifetime searching for
This kind of love
(This kind of love)
This kind of love
(This kind of love)
If this is a dream, don't wake me up

December 1993
They're putting lights on the Christmas tree
In the tiny flat in London that they love
"The baby's kicking hard tonight
'Cause she loves the music that you write"
He puts down his guitar with the widest smile

If this is a dream, don't wake me up
If this is a dream, don't let it stop
