Lyrics

[00:20.150] If these are the things that
[00:22.882] Dreams are made of
[00:24.658] Why don't I dream anymore
[00:36.256] I've tried to tell myself
[00:38.994] Nothing's changed my dear
[00:40.691] But I look around me
[00:43.478] Maybe that's not so
[00:45.348] I only have nightmares
[00:48.005] And wake up with cold sweat
[00:49.880] Coming through my pores
[00:54.447] Why don't I dream anymore
[00:58.413] I'm in the garden
[01:00.161] All the trees bear fruit
[01:02.058] I have to pick them before they fall
[01:06.680] I finally grab one
[01:09.020] I hold it in my hand
[01:11.337] I open it up
[01:12.535] It's rotten to the core
[01:16.925] Why don't I dream anymore
[01:21.410]
[01:27.892] If these are the things that
[01:30.698] Dreams are made of
[01:32.462] Why don't I dream anymore
[01:40.744]
[01:44.011] We lose our patience
[01:44.977] Lose our trust
[01:46.215] Yes we lose our innocence
[01:48.667] To forget our sorrow and hide our pain
[01:51.364] We lose old memories
[01:53.135] But dreams are what life's worth living for
[02:01.775] I wish I could dream
[02:05.996] Once more
[02:09.254]
[02:16.793] I'm in the garden
[02:18.863] All the trees bear fruit
[02:21.139] I have to pick them before they fall
[02:25.559] I finally grab one
[02:27.936] I hold it in my hand
[02:30.069] I open it up
[02:31.301] It's rotten to the core
[02:35.042] Why don't I dream anymore
[02:39.574]
[02:46.896] If these are the things that
[02:49.352] Dreams are made of
[02:51.116] Why don't I dream anymore
[03:02.741] I've tried to tell myself
[03:05.372] It's all for the best my dear
[03:07.239] But I look around me
[03:09.716] Maybe that's not so
[03:10.789] I only have nightmares
[03:14.489] Wake up in a cold sweat
[03:16.323] Coming through my pores
[03:18.209] As all I abhor
[03:20.804] Why don't I dream anymore
[03:24.848] I'm in the garden
[03:26.327] All the trees bear fruit
[03:28.492] I have to pick them before they fall
[03:33.022] I finally grab one
[03:35.272] I hold it in my hand
[03:37.254] I open it up
[03:38.761] It's rotten to the core
[03:42.788] Why don't I dream anymore
[03:51.885]
[03:54.536] If these are the things that
[03:56.774] Dreams are made of
[03:58.348] If these are the things that
[04:01.105] Dreams are made of
[04:02.901] If these are the things that
[04:05.636] Dreams are made of
[04:07.472] I don't want anymore
[04:13.771] I don't want anymore
[04:18.304] I don't want anymore
[04:23.400]
