Last night, I dreamed,
I was a bird flying above the trees
I didn't own a thing but I was free.
This old routine,
Is dragging me down now I don't know now
(Chorus)
oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
Love is just a state of mind,
oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
Heaven is a place you'll find
If you'll just take your time.
There's a whole in the wall,
And if you step too close you just might fall
Right off the side of normalcy.
Yeah the world is asleep,
And when it wakes up it forgets every-
(Chorus)
Thing it dreams, no one seems,
To really know what it is they actually want
From this life, kids and wife,
Maybe some nice German cars out in the drive,
I wish they'd take their time.
I feel alive,
When I stop fighting the moment
I cannot create a perfect place.
But sometimes I cling,
To my past like I can change it all
If I let it go, then I'll know
Love is just a state of mind,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
Lord I nearly lost my mind,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
Heaven is a place that you will find
If you just take your time,
If we just take our time,
If I just take my time.
