Lyrics

I sat down on a bench, I was crying
'Cause I thought that the world didn't care
Then a stranger came over and smiling
He said "if you need me I'm here."
So I talked and I talked and he cheered me up
When he said "I know just what you mean."
But when saying goodbye he reminded me
It's a dream, just a dream.

I sat down with my son, I was talking
All about how the world is so good.
How there used to be war and destruction
But now we behave like we should.
And I told him of how he will grow up strong
In a world where nobody was mean
But when saying good night he reminded me
It's a dream, just a dream.

I went out for a walk, I was lonely.
But I saw there were lights everywhere.
And the people around were so friendly
And they made me glad I was there.
And then someone came over and said to me
"Don't you think it's a beautiful scene?"
But when saying goodbye he reminded me
It's a dream, just a dream.

I went down to the park, I was happy
'Cause it looked like a wonderful day.
And the sun I saw shining so brightly,
I knew things were going my way.
There was nothing that ever could bring me down
On the best day that I've ever seen.
So when walking back home had to tell myself
It's a dream, just a dream.
It's a dream, just a dream.
