Dreams

Sarah sits alone, curled up by the telephone
With a bottle and a wine glass in her hand
And she cries about a time somewhere back inside her mind
When she gave all of her love to just one man
And she'd like to call him up
Just to see how he's been doing
But she doesn't have his number anymore
And ten years is a long time past
For a love she knew could never last
So she falls asleep to dream of him once more

And in her dreams, she smiles
They make her happy
'Cause in her dreams she's loving him again
In her dreams, she holds him close
And he tells her she's the most
Lovely girl that his eyes have ever seen
And now this lady's only happy when she dreams

In a lonely motel room some five-hundred miles away
He smokes a cigarette after the show
And he's saddened by a memory that goes running through his mind
Of a girl he left behind ten years ago
And he's travelled near and far
Trying hard to be a star
Singing songs he had written just for her
And now he's close to fame, he's almost there
But without her, he just doesn't care
So he falls asleep to dream of how things were

And in his dreams, he smiles
They make him happy
'Cause in his dreams he's loving her again
In his dreams, he holds her close
And he tells her she's the most
Lovely girl that his eyes have ever seen
Now this man is only happy when he dreams
Yes, they both are only happy when they dream
