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.
