Silhouette of a woman in the pale moonlight

Waiting for her life to turn out right

Husband snoring in deep denile

And hush, don't wake the innocent child

Who still thinks mom and dad are in love

and baby Jesus is watching them all from above

Don't break the frame that's holding this picture

Of the American Dream

The American...



Chorus:

Dream of heros

Dreams of fairytales

And even though they aint never what they seem

We believe in dreams



Silhouette of a woman running 'cross the yard

Finally took the blow that shook her hard

Broken bottles and black out nights

No more excuses to hide the light

Her son is now a man

who thinks God is going to save him

from reliving his parents disaster

Going to change it

Don't break the glass that's holding his picture

Of the American Dream

The American...



Chorus:



Bridge:



Fly me out into the night

Cast a spell upon my life

Fashion me a pretty dress

Crystal carriage to the dance

Magic potion, won't grow old

Get three wishes and good blessings

Pixie dust and happy endings

Happy endings

Happiness and... 



Chorus: 

Dreams of heros

Dreams of fairytales

Dreams of miracles

Dreams down the wishing well

Dream of the young man

Dream of a second chance

And even though they aint never what they seem

We believe in dreams
