I can see a steeple — surrounded by people
Oh how real it all starts to seem
Just as the choir is singing — my alarm starts ringing
It’s the same old dream
And then my thoughts inspire — a scene by a fire
In a cottage close by a stream
I know it all by heart now — we’re about to part now
It’s the same old dream
If you but knew
How many times I pretend — that I’m with you
I’m sure your heart would unbend — you’d see me through
Until my dream had a happy ending
And I can picture clearly — the things I love dearly
In the center you reign supreme
We kiss and I discover — I’m a lonesome lover
It’s the same old dream
