Lyrics for Real Life Dreams
Another day is done Another curtain has been drawn Another time, another place And this could be a happy face But that's not how things here are done We wish to live in others' shoes And live the life that we would choose And without worry, without pain We would go singing in the rain But could we live without complaint? And is it ever as it seems? (Real life dreams, does it always seem?) In memories or in our dreams? (The ends don't justify the means) The ends don't justify the means When we're living real life dreams Another finish line been crossed Another race we could have lost And in the hurry of the run We've forgotten all the fun But we'll catch up when the running's done And is it ever as it seems? (Real life dreams, does it always seem?) In memories or in our dreams? (The ends don't justify the means) The ends don't justify the means When we're living real life dreams Another day arrives Open your windows, curtains wide This is the time, this is the place There won't be another race For real life dreams can pass you by And is it ever as it seems? (Real life dreams, does it always seem?) In memories or in our dreams? (The ends don't justify the means) The ends don't justify the means When we're living real life dreams Hey, hey, hey, uh Real life dreams, real life dreams ... Uh, uh, I want it Oh, I gotta have it ... I'll take you there And without worry I'll take you there Hey, I'll just smile and take a chance I'll take you there
