I was only dreaming, I was only dreaming,
I was only dreaming so that I could run
I was running through the forest
with a wool pack on my heels
When I saw you running ahead of me
And I shouted, yes I shouted
Marianne, won't you wait for me
As I fell to the ground,
I swear I heard you laughing
Ooh, I love you,
Marianne
Please, oh please don't let me die
Ooh, I love you,
Mary
Ann
Please, oh please, don't let me die
Ah -ah -ah -ah -ah -ah
Ah -ah -ah -ah -ah -ah
Now the angels were singing
when I saw you by my side
And I reached out, held you oh so tight
But you melted, yes you melted,
and the water on the ground
Are the tears that fell from
a broken man
Ooh, I love you,
Marianne
Please, oh please, don't let me die
Ooh, I love you,
Marianne
Please, oh please don't
let me die
Then I woke up, looked at the walls of my place,
looked into your face
And I was only dreamin',
I was only dreamin' I was only dreamin' so glad I could cry
I was only dreamin' I was only
dreamin' I was only dreamin'
So glad I could cry
Oo h, I love you,
Mary
Ann
Please, oh please,
don't let me die
Ooh, I love you,
Mary
Ann
Please, oh please, don't let die
