Love Bound 02:48
I dreamed I was dancing in wonderland As I laid on my pillow last night And I met an angel in wonderland She kissed me and held me so tight And my head went ‘round and ‘round And my heart went up and down When I finally touched the ground Then I knew I was love bound We walked and we talked for a little while She smiled and my heart beat so fast And after we kissed for a little while I knew I found true love at last And my head went ‘round and ‘round And my heart went up and down When I finally touched the ground Then I knew I was love bound Oh we walked and we talked for a little while She smiled and my heart beat so fast And after we kissed for a little while I knew I found true love at last And my head went ‘round and ‘round And my heart went up and down When I finally touched the ground Then I knew I was love bound Oh pretty baby You know my heart beats When you’re with me It does
