Lyrics
ALL IN MY DREAMS
Words, Music and © All Rights Reserved Laurence Conway, 2018
Slowly, restrained: BPM 70
Verse 1:
When the years fly so swiftly you're captured in their slipstream
You realize we're each but a speck in Life's scheme
We can merely keep trying for achievements that gleam
As the daily grind bites, it frustrates, makes you scream!
Chorus:
ALL IN MY DREAMS, view me
Famous, such cool mystique
ALL IN MY DREAMS, I'm chic
Somewhere like Martinique
ALL IN MY DREAMS, I'm rich
(spoken) Loaded!
(sung) Some real big fish
I work towards when that won't be ALL IN MY DREAMS
Verse 2:
When I shop but can't buy things cos they're priced way too high
I just shrug expertly and walk on, pass them by
Counting pennies is constant
I'm still a part of that team out of necessity
But I still (spoken) aim - (sung) I still dream
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
One big break's all it takes to make dreams real
Repeat Chorus, adding:
I aim for the day when that won't be just ALL IN MY DREAMS
