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 a 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
