lyrics

My darling sweet do you believe
I don’t even know my name?
Won’t you carry a light down for me, please?
And see what the headlines read.
About all the times we left behind,
The memories of you and me.
In a boat, on the see we travelled free
And rest in from time to time.

Only in dreams
We make believe
The things that we need, and want are free
A chord in a song, a melody
Only in dreams.

My darling sweet, do you believe
The ways that we spend our time?
Worry about the hands we’re dealt,
And give in to fear and doubt.
It gets harder to breathe, it’s like a disease
It feels like you can’t go out.
Well, lay back your head, and close your eyes
Rest in from time to time.

Only in dreams
We make believe
The things that we need, and want are free
A chord in a song, a melody
Only in dreams.

Only in dreams
We make believe
The things that we need, and want are free
A chord in a song, a melody
Only in dreams
Only in dreams
Only in dreams.
