Lyrics

Dream Dream

Dream dream of yeah what it might be

Dream inside your memory

Dream dream of a year

Filled with me

Ah la la la la

Ah la la la la

Her dress was pale green

The wind blew it tight

And all she could think about

Was how long she had tried

To see everything the way that it is

To see everything the way that it is

Ah la la la la

Ah la la la la

Dream dream of yeah what it might be

Dream inside your memory

Dream dream of a year

Filled with me

Ah la la la la

Ah la la la la

Her dress was pale green

The wind blew it tight

She twirled around and around

As she closed her eyes against

All the things, she'd seen other things

All the things, she'd seen other things

All the things on the bed she'd seen

Never wanted it to be this way

Never wanted it to be like this

Never wanted it to be this way

Never wanted it to be like this

Oh, dream dream inside your memory

Dream dream of now what it might be

Dream inside my memory

Dream dream of a year

Filled with me

Dream dream of a year

Filled with me

Dream dream of a year

Filled with me

Dream dream

Dream a dream

Dream dream

Dream a dream

Ah la la la la

Ah la la la la ...
