Never Had A Dream Come True – Lyrics

I never, never had a dream come true
In my every dream, I’m loved by you
And we’re free as the wind
And true love is no sin

Therefore, men are men, not machines
I never, never had a dream come true
Without you, the world out
There is painted shades of blue

Since our roads never crossed
I work just to please the boss
Think I might as well get lost in my dreams
Do do do do do………

I never, never had a dream come true
Yes, I’m gonna dream about you
My whole life through
Seems my folks are ashamed
Said I ain’t worth a thing
But I’m glad I’m chained to my creams
Do do do do do……..

Keep on dreamin’
Sing along with me
Keep on dreaming
