It's The Same Old Dream

I can see a steeple surrounded by people

Oh how real it all starts to seem

Just as the choir is singing

My alarm starts ringing

It's the same old dream

And then my thoughts inspire

A scene by the fire

In a cottage close by a stream

I know it all by heart now

We're about to part now

It's the same old dream

If you but knew

How many times I pretend that

I'm with you

I'm sure your heart would unbend

You'd see me through

Until my dream had a happy ending

And I can picture clearly the things

I love dearly

In the center you reign supreme

We kiss and I discover

I'm a lonesome lover

It's the same old dream

I can see a steeple

Surrounded by people

Oh how real it all starts to seem

Just as the choir is singing

My alarm starts ringing

It's the same old dream

If you but knew

How many times I pretend

That I'm with you

I'm sure your heart would unbend

You'd see me through

Until my dream had a happy ending

And I can picture clearly

The things I love dearly

In the center you reign supreme

We kiss and I discover

I'm a lonesome lover

It's the same old dream

It's the same old dream
