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 the 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 We kiss and I discover I'm a lonesome lover It's the same old dream
