Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I used to dream myself to somewhere else each night I dreamed in color, 'cause I lived in black and white Until I chanced upon this road that led to you I couldn't see how anything could be Better than a dream Stranger than my wild imagination If this is a real sensation It's better than a dream Higher than the moon Hazy like a beautiful illusion Crazy and in confusion And better than a dream I used to wish I was beyond some distant door I knew there must be more to life And now I'm sure No dreams of pirate caves Or Indian braves, or magic carpets could Ever be this good Better than a dream Stranger than my wild imagination If this is a real sensation It's better than a dream Higher than the moon Hazy like a beautiful illusion Crazy and in confusion And better than a dream Better than a dream
