Lyrics
DREAMER
These moonless nights all by myself
Sometimes I wonder if it's right
Nobody knows, nobody cares
I keep wondering through the night
Turn on the tube and watch the news
About the bad gone down today
On radio the music plays
My mind trails off I drift away
There's a view of a place in the back of my brain
Where the sun shines down when it rains
When I've done all the things that I've set out to do
I'm gonna take off for paradise
I've worked real hard I've paid the price
I'm free
I'm a dreamer, dreaming away
I've got to make it true somehow, someway
Just a dreamer, dreaming away
Till someday all my dreams are here to stay
Another night alone again
Somehow it never seems to end
I look outside I see the stars
My mind is drifting I pretend
There's a view of a place in the back of my brain
Where the sun shines down when it rains
When I've done all the things that I've set out to do
I'm gonna take off for paradise
I've worked real hard I've paid the price
I'm free
I'm a dreamer, dreaming away
I've got to make it true somehow, someway
Just a dreamer, dreaming away
Till someday all my dreams are here to stay
(Musical Break and Guitar Lead)
Oh, I'm a dreamer, dreaming away
I've got to make it true somehow, someway
Just a dreamer, dreaming away
Till someday all my dreams are here to stay
I'm a dreamer, dreaming away
I've got to make it true somehow, someway
Just a dreamer, dreaming away
Till someday all my dreams are here to stay
