Only a Dream

I must be dreaming this world is a better place
It takes you up and brings you down
To appear as if in a dream
Was it real or only a dream?
La la la la
Was it real or only a dream
Now, I've got positive emotions

But I failed to even catch her eye
Smiling with anticipation
Was it real or only a dream
And I saw her standing there
And I sadly stood my ground

Now, I've got positive emotions
Where only clouds used to be

Then everybody crowded inside
Waiting for the flashing light

Hi ya, handsome, have a good day
Waiting for my executive goddess
Suddenly I feel alive

Feeling optimistic and keen
Thinking life's just like that elevator

It's good enough for me, yeah, yeah
I must be dreaming, if she looks at me
Then the elevator opened
Now, I've got positive emotions
I didn't think she'd even look at me
To lift me up from the ground
And I tried to say, hello to her
She was talking to another guy
I must be dreaming, if she looks at me
La la la la
I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy
I gotta be dreaming, is it reality

If it's just a dream
Was it real or only a dream
Was it only an illusion
Maybe she took me for somebody else
I wake up in the morning
Buzzing 'round every molecule in me
She looked so corporate and clean
She had to be a young executive

I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy
Then the elevator opened
But over and over, I live that memory
Buzzing 'round every molecule in me

Was it my imagination playing tricks on me
Buzzing 'round every molecule in me
Was it all an illusion, is it fantasy
Was it real or only a dream?
Waiting by the elevator

When she looked my way
Face the world with expectation
I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy
But over and over, I live that memory
But over and over, I live that memory

I gotta be dreaming, is it reality
Or bother to glance my way

On the cover of a magazine

I must be dreaming, if she looks at me
But she actually smiled at me and said
I see a great big sunset

Whatever it was, it made my day, hey hey

And I thought I'd seen her somewhere before
Was my imagination playing tricks on me
I gotta be dreaming, is it reality
