I Can Dream Can't I?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As we eye the blue horizon's bend
Earth and sky appear to meet and end
But it's merely an illusion
Like your heart and mine there is no sweet conclusion
I can say:
No matter how near you'll be
You'll never belong to me
But I can dream
Can't I?
Can't I pretend
That I'm locked in the bend
Of your embrace
For dreams
Are just like wine
And I am drunk
With mine
I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream
Can't I
Can't I adore you
Although we are oceans apart
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream
Can't I
Can't I pretend
That I'm locked in the bend
Of your embrace
For dreams
Are just like wine
And I am drunk
With mine
