don't get me wrong 
i'd never want another lover 
your touch has held my fragile heart for so long 
but somehow these days 
i feel like a sister, mother 
and something in my mind just wants to move on 

but i decided when i fell in love with you 
this time that's not what i would do 

yet i'm dreamin' of casablanca 
there's longing in the rain 
pictures of casablanca 
are coursing through my veins 
day by day i'm a good girl 
in this thelma and louise world 
but at night i dream of casablanca 

it's petty i know 
when the world is full of real problems 
and through the daylight hours i'm in there fighting 
but the goin' gets slow 
and i wonder if i'll ever solve them 
and there's a hunger of the heart that's in here hiding 

when the nighttime brings those shadows to my bed 
rick and ilsa drift into my head... 

and i'm dreamin' of casablanca 
there's longing in the rain 
pictures of casablanca 
are coursing through my veins 
day by day i'm a good girl 
in this thelma and louise world 
but at night i dream of casablanca 

at night i dream 
the same dream 
that weakens the seams 
of everything 
that really matters 

must i always test the wings of sacrifice? 
won't you just gaze into my eyes? 

'cause i'm dreamin' of casablanca 
i'm longing in the rain 
visions of casablanca 
are coursing through my veins 
day by day i'm a strong girl 
in this thelma and louise world 
but at night i dream of casablanca 
please come with me... 
to casablanca
