I Can't Live a Dream

About I Can't Live a Dream

"I Can't Live a Dream" is a 1976 single by The Osmonds as the first track on their Brainstorm LP.. It was written by Arnold Capitanelli and first recorded by Frankie Valli in 1975 on his solo album Closeup. After The Osmonds charted a top-40 hit and easy listening chart-topper in 1975 with another Valli cover, "The Proud One," the quintet recorded "I Can't Live a Dream" as a follow-up. It was the lead single of two released from the album, and was the only one to chart. As was the case with most of the Osmonds' mid-1970s singles, only Merrill Osmond (by this point sporting a short-lived mustache to help distinguish himself from his brothers) sang lead vocals. The song reached number 46 in the U. S. and number 50 in Canada. It was a marginally better performer on the Easy Listening charts, peaking at number 38 in the U. S. and number 35 in Canada. In the United Kingdom, "I Can't Live a Dream" reached number 37. "I Can't Live a Dream" would be the final top-100 pop hit in any country for the Osmonds in their classic lineup, and the last of any configuration of the group to date (not counting solo records). more »

The day that you moved away, life was so empty
All I had left, was your memory (memory-memory)
Livin' it seems what was left, was a dream
A dream of the way it used to be

But I can't live a dream
Anymore that I can live forever
Anymore that I can climb a mountain to the sun (to the sun)
No I can't live a dream
Anymore that I can move a mountain
Anymore that I can live my life, without you
(Can't live no I can't live no I can't live no no no no)

All of the things I've done, leaving me lonely
All of the nights I've missing you only (lonely-lonely)
I spend my time, with one thing on my mind
Just closing my eyes, dreaming of you!

But I can't live a dream
Anymore that I can live forever
Anymore that I can climb a mountain to the sun (to the sun)
I can't live a dream 
Anymore than I can live forever
Anymore that I can climb a mountain to the sun (to the sun)
Noo I can't live a dream
Anymore that I can move a mountain
Anymore that I can live my life without you
