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 the 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 
those 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

We kiss and I discover 
I'm a lonesome lover.
It's the same old dream.
