When I First Saw You

[CURTIS]
When I first saw you
I said, "Oh my."
I said, "Oh my, that's a dream, that's a dream."
I needed a dream when it all seemed to go bad
Then I found you
And I have had the most beautiful dreams
Any man's ever had
When I first saw you
I said, "Oh my
Oh my, that's my dream, that's my dream."
I needed a dream to make me strong
And you were the only reason I've had to go on
You are my dream
All the things I never knew
You are my dream
Who'da believed they could ever come true?
And who'da believed that the world could believe in my dream too?

There comes a time when the child's got to grow
There comes a time when the woman's gotta go
Mama said I am special
She said I've got to prove I am just as good
I'm even better than
[DEENA]
That's what she would say
[CURTIS]
That's what she would say
[DEENA]
"Shine, Deena, shine"
[CURTIS]
"Shine, Deena, shine"
[DEENA]
"Shine, Deena, shine"
[CURTIS]
You're gonna shine
[DEENA]
And I'm gonna shine
[CURTIS]
You are my dream
[DEENA]
Now I've got dreams of my own
[CURTIS]
All the things I could never be
[DEENA]
Dreams you've never known
[CURTIS]
You are my dream
They'll never take my dream from me
When I first saw you
I said, "Oh my, oh my
That's my dream."
