when i first saw you

Jamie Foxx

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 all seemed to go bad
Then I found you
And I have had the most beautiful dreams any man has ever had
When I first saw you, I said, oh my
I said, oh my, that's my dream, that's my dream
I needed a dream to make me strong
You were the only reason I've had to go on
You're my dream, all the things I ever knew
You're my dream, who could believe it could ever come true
And who could believe the world would believe in my dreams too

There comes a time when a child's got to grow
There comes a time when the woman's got to go
Mama said I am special
She said I've got to go
I'm just as good
I'm even better than
That's what you would say
Shall I need to say
Shall I need to say
I'm not gonna say

You're my dream (Now I've got dreams of my own)
All the things I could ever be (Dreams you never know)
You're 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
