Dear dream
Gilbert O'Sullivan · Very Best Of Gilbert O'sullivan [2012]
Thinking that you Will be my dream come true Dear dream
I guess If the answer is yes What must I do
If I'm to get to you It's not as though
I haven't tried hard
Even had myself barred From taking a rest
but like a lot of things in life When your down
Nothing comes round That isn't a mess
Dear dream I pray That you will come my way
Give me a clue Of how to get to
Of how to get to
Of how to get to you solo
You have no idea what its like to be told
Get out of clothes
You look too bizarre
The list of don't call us
And we won't call you has in my view Become too Large
Dear dream of mine Am I wasting my time
Thinking that you Will be my dream come
Will be my dream come Will be my dream come true
And he can't wait another day
Sometimes he thinks he'll go insane
How can he be so close and yet very far
Is there something that he should know
Some place maybe he can go to in search of you.
Dear dream of mine Am
I wasting my time Thinking that you
Will be my dream come Will be my drea
m come Will be my dream come true
