Larry Norman - Sweet Dreams lyrics

What about Cinderella and her glass shoe?
She lived happily ever after, yeah
But none of it is true
What about King Midas
When everything turned to gold
It's all right when we are children
But not when we are old

Sweet dreams sweet dreams sweet dreams
Fading before the dawn

Well just look at a photo of a man
And a woman in a perfect world
They got perfect teeth and lovely tans
Such a beautiful boy and girl
But they don't know each other
They only met today
When the photographer took the picture
And said the check is on it's way

Sweet dreams sweet dreams sweet dreams
Fading before the dawn

Somebody creates an image and wait's
For us to buy they got our life planned out
From the time we get our personal number
'Til the day we die living in a fairy tale
Just doesn't make sense
Grass ain't never greener baby
Growing beyond the fence

Sweet dreams sweet dreams sweet dreams
Fading before the dawn
