Lyrics
Walkin' along and dreamin'
Walking while in a dreamlike state.
Dreamin' 'bout somebody new
Daydreaming about someone different.
Hopin' he's dreamin' 'bout somebody too
Wishing that the person being dreamed about is also thinking about the dreamer.
Walkin' along and hopin'
Continuing to walk and having hope.
I'm gonna spend time with you
Anticipating spending time with a specific person.
Hopin' that he is kinda hopin', too
Hoping that the person also has similar hopes.
It's a day just like any other
Describing a typical day in a magical world.
In the moving, magical world
Emphasizing the magical nature of the world.
When the most exciting, warm, vibrating
Describing an exciting and loving man entering the scene.
Giving, loving man I've ever seen
Portraying the man as giving and warm.
Comes right into view

Walkin' along and thinkin'

And how I'm gonna make a friend of you
