(Michael McDonaldGrady WalkerHarry Garfield)

If we could dream our lives away

That would be just fine

Without the cares and fears that prey on everybody's mind



Tryin' to get back to a memory

Tryin' to put the flame back in our hearts

As we look back and we see the past

Like it never was



[Chorus:]

'cause it's no such luck

There ain't no such thing

Can't blame the stars or fever of spring

No such luck

There ain't no such thing

Something's always goin' wrong



We're just one step ahead of the heartaches|

Tryin' to disguise how they take their toll

Just when you think that you got it down

Then you lose control



[Chorus]
