painted dreams

we painted dreams and how we wished they'd all come true

we hoped for more than pallet brush and canvas could ever prove

well maybe we could get our hopes up one more time

we're not the kids we were that doesn't mean we should be blind

chasing the painting of a dream

chasing the only thing that ever made sense to me

oh

it is hard but it is easy

it might seem wrong but it's so right

so let us conjure up the feeling

and paint the dreams we used to paint tonight

we flew so high

we didn't know limits existed then

'til we got older and woke up and stopped playing pretend

well what's more real than how i feel and how i felt back then

i will dust my paint and brushes off and i will dream again

chasing the painting of a dream

chasing the only thing that ever made sense to me

oh

it is hard but it is easy

it might seem wrong but it's so right

so let us conjure up the feeling

and paint the dreams we used to paint tonight

oh

it is hard but it is easy

it might seem wrong but it's so right

so let us conjure up the feeling

and paint the dreams that used to make us feel so alive

so alive

oh

it is hard but it is easy

it might seem wrong but it's so right

so let us conjure up the feeling

and paint the dreams we used to paint tonight

oh

it is hard but it is easy

it might seem wrong but it's so right

so let us conjure up the feeling

and paint the dreams that used to make us feel so alive
