We painted dreams and how we wished
They'd all come true
We hoped for more than pallet brush
And canvas could ever prove

Well, maybe we could get our hopes
Up one more time
We're not the kids we were
That doesn't mean we should be blind

Chasing the painting of a dream
Chasing the only thing
That ever made sense to me

Oh, it is hard but it is easy
It might seem wrong but it's so right
So let us conjure up the feeling
And paint the dreams we used to paint tonight

We flew so high
We didn't know limits existed then
'Til we got older and woke up
And stopped playing pretend

Well, what's more real than
How I feel and how I felt back then
I will dust my paint and brushes off
And I will dream again

Chasing the painting of a dream
Chasing the only thing
That ever made sense to me

Oh, it is hard but it is easy
It might seem wrong but it's so right
So let us conjure up the feeling
And paint the dreams we used to paint tonight

Oh, it is hard but it is easy
It might seem wrong but it 's so right
So let us conjure up the feeling
And paint the dreams that used to make us feel so alive
