Verse:

In a dream, the strangest and the oddest things appear;
And what insane and silly things we do.
Here is one I see before me, vividly and clear,
As I recall it, you were in it, too.

Female chorus:

I had the craziest dream last night, yes I did;
I never dreamt it could be,
Yet there you were in love with me.
I found your lips close to mine, so I kissed you,
And you didn't mind it at all;
When I'm awake, such a break never happens,
How long can a gal go on dreaming?
If there's a chance that you care, then, please say you do;
Baby, say it and make my craziest dream come true.

Male chorus:

I had the craziest dream last night, yes I did;
I never dreamt it could be,
Yet there you were in love with me.
I found your lips close to mine, so I kissed you,
And you didn't mind it at all;
When I'm awake, such a break never happens,
How long can a guy go on dreaming?
If there's a chance that you care, then, please say you do;
Baby, say it and make my craziest dream come true.


Portuguese lyric (from Brazilian sheet music):

"Que Sonho Louco"

Chorus:

Que louco sonho, meu Dios, pois foi, eu sonhei!
Colei meus lábios nos teus,
E_o resto, amôr…não sei, não sei!
Lembro me_apenas que vi,
Teus olhos refletir um extranho clarão!
Lembro tambem que senti
As_estrelas mudarem do ceu para_o chão.
Que louco sonho, meu Dios, sonhei, afinal!
Oh, vem! Dizer me meu amôr, que_ele foi real!
