He spends his nights in California Watching the stars on the big screen And then he lies awake and he wonders Why can't that be me? 'Cause in his life he is filled With all these good intentions He's left a lot of things He'd rather not mention right now Just before he says goodnight He looks up with a little smile at me And he says If I could be like that Well I would give anything Just to live one day in In those shoes If I could be like that What would I do? What would I do? Now in dreams we run She spends her days up in the north park Watching the people as they pass And all she wants is just a little piece of this dreams Is that too much to ask? With a safe home and a warm bed On a quiet little street All she wants is just that something to hold on to That's all she needs Yeah, if I could be like that Well I would give anything Just to live one day in In those shoes If I could be like that What would I do? What would I do? Yeah yeah yeh oh oh I'm falling into this In dreams we run away If I could be like that Well I would give anything Just to live one day In those shoes If I could be like that What would I do? What would I do? If I could be like that I would give anything Just to live one day In those shoes If I could be like that What would I do? What would I do? If I could be like that I would give anything Just to live one day In those shoes If I could be like that? What would I do? Lord what would I do? Yeah yeah Falling in I feel I am falling in To this again
