Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over love, over me
Over heart, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I sought can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over love, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over love, over you
Over you
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over love, over me
Over heart, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I sought can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over love, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over love, over you
Over you

I played this song and slow danced w/ the first girl I fell truly in Love with on the way to my bedroom,,, I feel like the song was written to describe how I felt that night,,, overjoyed
agree w/ seceralways,,, the emotion in Stevie's voice is incredible
this song is great
Amen to that
i love it!!...woooohooooo
This song makes me cry whenever I hear it. I love this song. His voice and the lyrics are so touching.
Man...these lyrics are for me... Probably my fav love lyrics by any artist because I can so relate.. it's sad but yeah..
the meaning is pretty easy to get: its about someone with dreams of finding their true love and they actually find that love and is pleading for that one you love to have those same "overjoyed" feelings towards you
yeah. the lyrics are pretty obvious...hasn't everyone felt this way at some time?
the emotion in his voice gets me every time.
i think this might be my favorite...at least by stevie wonder. and one of my favorite lyrical songs...i agree 311rhcp. i can SO relate to this song. (sadly) but it so amazing.
I think it’s about someone’s finding their true love which at first the person was not so sure whether it’s being reciprocated or not. But in the end, the person is feeling overjoyed because the other person is actually feeling the same thing.
