(dream on, dream on)
|
|
I can see
|
No matter how near you'll be
|
You'll never belong to me
|
But I can dream, can't I?
|
Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace?
|
For dreams are just like wine
|
And I am drunk with mine
|
|
I'm aware
|
My heart is a sad affair
|
There's much disillusion there
|
But I can dream, can't I?
|
Can't I adore you
|
Although we are oceans apart?
|
I can't make you open your heart
|
But I can dream, can't I?
|
|
I'm aware
|
My heart is a sad affair
|
There's much disillusion there
|
But I can dream, can't I?
|
Can't I adore you
|
Although we are oceans apart?
|
I can't make you open your heart
|
But I can dream, can't I?
|
|
(dream on, dream on, dream on)
