Only A Dream Lyrics Artist: The Kinks Album: Phobia
Standing by the elevator Feeling gloomy and down Waiting for the flashing light To lift me up from the ground Then the elevator opened And I saw her standing there She had to be a young executive She looked so corporate and clean And I thought I'd seen her somewhere before On the cover of a magazine I didn't think she'd even look at me Or bother to glance my way But she actually smiled at me and said Hi-ya handsome, have a good day
I must be dreaming if she looks at me I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy Now I've got positive emotions Buzzing 'round every molecule in me I gotta be dreaming, is it reality But over and over I live that memory Was it real or only a dream La la la la
Was it my imagination playing tricks on me When she looked my way Maybe she took me for somebody else Whatever it was, it made my day, hey hey I wake up in the morning Smiling with anticipation Suddenly I feel alive Face the world with expectation I must be dreaming, this is a smile upon my face I got be dreaming this world is a better place Was my imagination playing tricks on me Was it real or only a dream? I see a great big sunset Where only clouds used to be Was it all an illusion, is it fantasy If it's just a dream It's good enough for me, yeah yeah
Waiting by the elevator Feeling optimistic and keen Waiting for my executive goddess to appear as if in a dream Then the elevator opened She was talking to another guy And I tried to say hello to her But I failed to even catch her eye Then everybody crowded inside And I sadly stood my ground Thinking life's just like that elevator It takes you up and brings you down
I must be dreaming if she looks at me I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy Now I've got positive emotions Buzzing 'round every molecule in me I gotta be dreaming, is it reality But over and over I live that memory Was it real or only a dream La la la la Was it only an illusion Was it real or only a dream
