Daydream Believer
Anne Murray · All of Me [2006]
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and we rise wipe the sleep out of our eyes
The shaving razor's cold and it stings.
Chorus:
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream beliver
And a homecoming queen.
I once thought of you as a white knight on a steed
Now, you know how happy we can be
Oh, when our good times started then
Not a dollar one to spend but how much baby, do we really need?
Chorus:
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream beliver
And a homecoming queen.
Chorus:
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream beliver
And a homecoming queen.
Chorus:
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream beliver
And a homecoming queen...
