All I Want Was the Dream

(Isabel Keating)

All I wanted was the dream
Just like anybody else
I didn't want it pushed aside
Forgotten on a shelf

I wanted laughs and lots of lovers
And limitless wealth
I just want to say you're better
Than anybody else

All I wanted was the time
To obliterate my past
I didn't know that time can come and go
So terribly fast

It's hard to lose it
When you had it right here
In your grasp
But then you wake up and it seems
The dream that you dream
Was just too good to last
