In the Real World

In dreams we do so many things We set aside the rules we know And fly above the world so high In great and shining rings If only we could always live in dreams If only we could make of life What, in dreams, it seems But in the real world We must say real goodbyes No matter if the love will live It will never die In the real world There are things that we can't change And endings come to us In ways that we can't rearrange I love you, and you love me But sometimes we must let it be In the real world In the real world When we were dreaming heart to heart I wish that we had stayed right there For when the dreamers do awake The dreams do disappear If only we could always live in dreams If only we could make of life what, in dreams, it seems But in the real world There are things that we can't change And endings come to us In ways that we can't rearrange I love you, and you love me But sometimes we must let it be In the real world In the real world
