Everybody Has A Dream

(album: Kiss And Say Goodbye: The Best Of The Manhattans - 1995)

While in these days of quiet desperation
As I wander through the world in which I live
I searched everywhere, everywhere for some new inspiration
But it's more than cold reality can give
If I need a cause for celebration
Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind
I rely on my imagination
And dream, and dream of an imaginary time

And I know I know, yeah

That everybody, everybody, everybody has a dream
Everybody, everybody, everybody has a dream
Everybody, everybody has a dream
And this is my dream, my own
Just to be, just to be at home
And to be, and to be all alone
Yeah with you, with you

If I believe in all the words I'm saying
And if a word from you, if a word from you can bring a better day
Then all I have, all I have are these games I've been playing
To keep my hope, to keep my hope from crumbling away
So let me lie and let me go on sleeping
And I will lose myself, lose myself in palaces of sand
And all the fantasies, all the fantasies that I have been keeping
Will make the empty hours easier to stand

And I know I know, yeah

That everybody, everybody, everybody has a dream
Everybody, everybody, everybody has a dream
Everybody, everybody has a dream
And this is my dream, my own
Just to be, just to be at home
And to be, and to be all alone
Yeah with you, with you, with you, with you

I know I know I know, yeah

That everybody, everybody, everybody has a dream
Everybody, everybody, everybody has a dream
Everybody, everybody has a dream
