Overjoyed Lyrics by Nnenna Freelon

Tales of Wonder

2002

[Verse 1]
Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my, my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
[Chorus]
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over-loved, over me
Over me
[Verse 2]
Over hearts, I, I've painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I've sought can never be mine
[Chorus]
Though you don't believe they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
Maybe too if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over-loved, over me
[Outro]
Oh, and though the odds seem improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
Maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I'm
Overjoyed, over-loved, over you
Oh, overjoyed, I'm overjoyed
Over time, mm, building my castle of love
Just for two
