Only A Dream

Dance like the ballerina in the moonlight

Romance like the pretty princess who’s looking for Mr. Right

Take a chance and be the quiet hero making his fame

Enhance the life you lived and italicize your name

Leave behind all the lonely nights crying long

Don’t remind yourself of the things you didn’t mean to do wrong

Go find what you were missing like Cinderella

In your mind you’ll be living your happily ever after

But in time you’ll see it’s only a dream

And someday you’re going to wake up and scream

When you realize the beautiful things were never true

So don’t close your eyes and reality won’t hurt you

Go far like Hercules committed to reaching the distance

Turn the marred cottage into a palace in the instance

Bring your guitar and sing melodious songs like Snow White

Touch that star once so far away, but now so close this night

You will breathe relief and feel so carefree

You will receive good wishes of peace and harmony

And soon you’ll believe you can do the things you only dreamed

You’ll conquer the darkness no matter how frightening it seemed

But in time you’ll see it’s only a dream

And someday you’re going to wake up and scream

When you realize the beautiful things were never true

So don’t close your eyes and reality won’t hurt you

Beautiful Belle, handsome Prince Charming

Everything so wonderful that it’s alarming

Fairies glittering around your bed

Nothing to worry about, keep laughing instead

No more nightmares, no more yelling

No more people telling you there’s no way, no way, no way

But you can’t stay, ooh

Gotta wake up, babe

Gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, honey

Gotta wake up

It all seemed so real

But in time you’ll see it’s only a dream

And someday you’re going to wake up and scream

When you realize the beautiful things were never true

So don’t close your eyes and reality won’t hurt you

(Oh oh ohh)

(Repeat x1)

Dance like the ballerina in the moonlight

Romance like the pretty princess who’s looking for Mr. Right

Take a chance and be the quiet hero making his fame

Enhance the life you lived, but when you wake up it won't be the same
