Once I dreamed about being a part of the diamond life Chasing after the flash of cameras and the spotlight But now I'm chasing forever, I'm chasing forever, it's all right Lord knows I've tried, but to no avail, was chasing my tail, so I'm off chasing forever (Chasing forever) Once it dawned on me what a song can grant you, I learned to write In every songbook on every piano, eternal life So now I'm chasing forever on these scraps of paper, it gets lonely With what's gone before me so daunting, it's haunt or be haunted, I'm off chasing forever (Chasing forever) Chasing forever (Chasing forever) Always wondering to no avail, wondering if I'm on the right trail Once I dreamed about being a part of that crazy world But dreams can taunt you and fly off when they want to like a mockingbird, ooh-ooh So now I'm chasing forever, I'm chasing forever, it's all right As all through the night I lay pondering, am I just wandering, lost, chasing forever? (Chasing forever) Chasing forever (Chasing forever)
