Daydream Believer

Anne Murray · All of Me [2006]

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings of the blue bird as she sings

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...
