AAnd dream it never ends
I was not myself last night
In the morning light
I could see the change was showing
Like a child who was always poor
Reaching out for more
I could feel the hunger growing
And as I lost control
I swore I'd sell my soul
For one love who would sing my song
And fill this emptiness inside me
One love who would sing my song
And lay beside me while we'd...
Dream a bit of style
We'd dream a bunch of friends
Dream each others smile
And dream it never ends
