A glittering palace, streets paved with gold,
No pain, no sorrow, no tears.
No lies, no stories left untold
They said I would find it all here.
A house, a home, a four poster bed,
A garden with flowers and streams.
If only it was just like they said
Here in the City of Dreams.
IS THIS THE PLACE I CAME TO FIND
IS THIS THE CITY OF DREAMS
MUST I BRAVE ANOTHER NIGHT
HERE IN THE CITY OF DREAMS
So this is my new home, the City of Dreams
Where the seekers of fortune abide.
Where the winners in life have taken the dreams
And the seekers never find.
So this is my new home, a dirty back street
And a bed of stone beneath the sky,
With a thousand stars looking down on me
Like a thousand mocking eyes.
IS THIS THE PLACE I CAME TO FIND
IS THIS THE CITY OF DREAMS
MUST I BRAVE ANOTHER NIGHT
ON THE STREETS OF THE CITY OF DREAMS
I close my eyes and drift to a land
Where you now stand before me.
You're the only dream I've held in my hand,
You're the dream I left behind me.
Why did I leave you for this crumbling town,
After all the tears you cried?
In my dream you stand before me now,
Embracing my soul in your eyes.
IS THIS THE PLACE I CAME TO FIND
IS THIS THE CITY OF DREAMS
MUST I BRAVE ANOTHER NIGHT
IN THE CITY OF BROKEN DREAMS
