Same Old Dream Lyrics

I get through the day and I guess I do alright
But I have that same old dream every night
Where we're walking on the beach hand in hand
You turn to me, we fall slowly to the sand
And the whole world just seems to fade away
Then I wake up to another lonely day.
And I'll have that dream again tonight, I know
Cause it's just in dreams that I can't let you go,
Sometimes I think we dream of things that cannot be
Forbidden love or winning the lottery
To keep hope alive somewhere deep inside
And a dream's the only place to hide.
So I'll just keep on dreaming of you
Even though I know those dreams cannot come true
Cause you belong to someone else and I can't fight
What happens when I close my eyes at night.

And the whole world just seems to fade away
Then I wake up to another lonely day.
I wake up to another lonely day
