Lyrics:
I had it all worked out, without a doubt, I knew,
I knew my life would go all smooth and slow and true.
I had my destiny, what’s best for me, in sight,
Now if I only didn’t have to
go to sleep at night.

Why do we have to dream?
Why did I have to fall?
Why do we have to dre-e-eam, have to dre-eam at all?
Why do I have to say, “Where did I go astray?”
Why do we ha-ave to dre-e-eam, have to dream anyway?

I had a dream or two where me and you were one.
There was a wonderland, where, hand in hand, we’d run.
I thought my dreams were real, and you could feel like me.
Now that I know I’m only dreamin’,
Dreams won’t let me be.

Why do we have to dream?
Why did I have to fall?
Why do we have to dre-e-eam, have to dre-eam at all?
Why do I have to say, “Where did I go astray?”
Why do we ha-ave to dre-e-eam, have to dream anyway?

SOLO

I got to realize to fantasize is wrong.
You’re bound to take a fall, you knew it all along.
You need a brand-new you, who’s learned to do without.
But once the light of love gets burnin’,
How do you turn it out?

Why do we have to dream?
Why did I have to fall?
Why do we have to dre-e-eam, have to dre-eam at all?
Why do I have to say, “Where did I go astray?”
Why do we ha-ave to dre-e-eam, have to dream anyway?
Why do we ha-ave to dre-e-eam, have to dream anyway?
