Last night I had a dream
You were miles and miles away from me
But my love rose up, rode on a breeze
Whispered your name through mimosa trees
On a warm southern wind

Silently, I made my way
Running by night and walking by day
Right through your window, I ran through your hair
Were you surprised to find me there
On a warm southern wind

Time, distance cannot come between us
No kind of boundaries can keep us
From the way we feel

Over the mountain, over the sea
Over whatever stands between you and me
Like a letter from home, like a smile from a friend
I'll be with you again and again
On a warm southern wind

Time, distance cannot come between us
No kind of boundaries can keep us
From the way we feel

Say your prayers and leave on a light
Open your window a little tonight
Cause you never can tell
Who might blow in
On a southern wind
