Thomas Dolby - Beauty Of A Dream lyrics
[Thomas Dolby - Beauty Of A Dream lyrics]
The beauty of a dream is you don't let it go
You don't ever let it go
Once in a while a girl comes along
And opens your heart like a spam tin
Just how long can it take?
A bow bends, a bow breaks
And then when it's time to return the key
She'll flash you a smile as
She slams the door
But, you didn't have to do that to me
To show me just how cruel love could be
And cruel's a show I kinda starred in before
Listen, these things take time
To reach ground zero
Change hit's so hard and the
World turns so slow
These things take time and
Next time you'll know
But the beauty of a dream is
You don't let it go you don't ever let it go
Now how come a hand as gentle as yours
Could soften a hard nut like this one?
It's a marvel to me
The way you wrapped my heart up completely
Whenever I roam I can't seem to find
As decent a love as the one I left behind
Keep it slow, though, for me girl
I never thought I'd sink in this deep
Oh darling, I'm sinking like a bug in a peach
Listen: these things take time
To reach ground zero
Change hurts so good and
The world screams hello
These things take time but this time I know
But the beauty of a dream is
You don't let it go you don't ever let it go
You don't ever let it go
We won't ever let it go
And I believe in the promises I made you
And I mean to keep them over
And over and over again
Boom! there's a cannon for
The first twenty years
Boom! there's a cannon for the next
It's a marvel to me
I never thought I'd sink in this deep
Oh darling, I'm sinking like a frog on a leaf
You don't ever let it go
Once in a while a girl comes along
And opens your heart like a spam tin
Just how long can it take?
A bow bends, a bow breaks
And then when it's time to return the key
She'll flash you a smile as
She slams the door
But, you didn't have to do that to me
To show me just how cruel love could be
And cruel's a show I kinda starred in before
Listen, these things take time
To reach ground zero
Change hit's so hard and the
World turns so slow
These things take time and
Next time you'll know
But the beauty of a dream is
You don't let it go you don't ever let it go
Now how come a hand as gentle as yours
Could soften a hard nut like this one?
It's a marvel to me
The way you wrapped my heart up completely
Whenever I roam I can't seem to find
As decent a love as the one I left behind
Keep it slow, though, for me girl
I never thought I'd sink in this deep
Oh darling, I'm sinking like a bug in a peach
Listen: these things take time
To reach ground zero
Change hurts so good and
The world screams hello
These things take time but this time I know
But the beauty of a dream is
You don't let it go you don't ever let it go
You don't ever let it go
We won't ever let it go
And I believe in the promises I made you
And I mean to keep them over
And over and over again
Boom! there's a cannon for
The first twenty years
Boom! there's a cannon for the next
It's a marvel to me
I never thought I'd sink in this deep
Oh darling, I'm sinking like a frog on a leaf
