Lyrics for Trouble With Dreams

There's nothing that I wanna do More than get alone and be with you Trouble with dreams is they don't come true And when they do, they can't catch up to you You don't need a thing from me, but I... I need something big from you 'Cause, you know, I've got An awful lot of big dreams I'm walking down a lonely road Clear to me now, but I was never told Trouble with dreams is you never know When to hold on and when to let go If you let me down, it's all right At least that leaves something for me 'Cause, you know, I've got An awful lot of big dreams This is the life that I must lead now Crossing fingers and wiping brow Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend Something with no beginning has an end You don't need a thing from me, but I... I need something big from you 'Cause, you know, I've got An awful lot of big dreams
