\nWas it in a dream, was it just a dream?
\nI know, yes I know
\nSeemed so very real, it seemed so real to me<\/p>\n
\nThru the heat whispered trees
\nI thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
\nSomebody call out my name as it started to rain<\/p>\n
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè<\/p>\n
\nMagic in the air, was magic in the air?
\nI believe, yes I believe
\nMore I cannot say, what more can I say?<\/p>\n
\nThru the mirror go round, round
\nI thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
\nMusic touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
\nThe spirit dance was unfolding<\/p>\n
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè<\/p>\n
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè
\nAh! böwakawa poussè, poussè<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
