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 the 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 those
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
(Musical Interlude)
We kiss and I discover I'm a
lonesome lover.
It's the same old dream.
