I'm a dreamer by nature
|
And I've always been tryin'
|
To dream myself out of this world that I'm in
|
In my dreams I escape all the troubles around
|
And it hasn't cost a penny
|
For the pleasures I've found
|
|
Chorus:
|
What is the part
|
That I'll play today
|
Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?
|
I've played many parts
|
And I'm the first to agree
|
That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me
|
|
I'm a dreamer by nature
|
And I've always been
|
Looking for something not there
|
My financial position
|
Don't bother my dreams
|
'Cause in fairy tale money
|
I'm my own millionaire
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I'm a rich man in dreams
|
But in real life I've hid
|
From the fact that I've got me a wife and a kid
|
If I lose what I've got
|
Then they lose it too
|
Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do
|
|
Chorus
