What A Beautiful Dream

it's a fragile thought
you can never make stand
a bird in flight unable to land...
it's a wish you can never make real
a shallow truth...
no matter how deeply you feel

it's the birth of magic
that never survives
a ship at sea that never arrives
it's a voice looking to be found
a walk on thin ice...
looking for solid ground

it's a beautiful dream...fading away
a midnight smile
that will never see the light of day
it's a beautiful dream...you've got to let go
no amount of hoping will make it so

it's a perfect cloud turning to haze
a postcard sunset slipping under the waves
it's a beautiful dream
you can never make last
a feather on the wind falling fast...
it's a beautiful dream
what a beautiful dream...
