lyrics

Nothing's like the real thing,
But it always begins with a dream
Nothing's like the real thing,
But it always begins, always begins

Nothing's like the real thing,
But it always begins with a dream
Even if I'm unaware
I've been dreaming you up out there, somewhere
Nothing's like the real thing,
But it always begins with a dream
Even if you're unaware
you've been dreaming you up out there, somewhere

When my eyes are sailing
on the ocean of clouded skies, you come to me softly
I want a piece of you, stuff it in my pocket
what a silly movie, playing on my retina

Nothing's like the real thing,
But it always begins with a dream
Even if I'm unaware
I've been dreaming you up out there, somewhere

I'm your vacant dream
you give no name to me
how can I find my way down?
to your deep slumbering heart
dreaming up love

Nothing's like the real thing,
But it always begins with a dream
Even if I'm unaware
I've been dreaming you up out there, somewhere
Nothing's like the real thing nothing is like
But it always begins with a dream
Even if you're unaware
you've been dreaming you up out there, somewhere
Even if you're unaware out there, somewhere
