I used to dream myself to somewhere else each night
I dreamed in colour, cause I lived in black and white
Until I chanced upon this road that led to you, I could not see
How anything could be

Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation
It's better than a dream
Higher than the moon
Hazy like a beautiful illusion
Crazy and in confusion
And better than a dream

I used to wish I was beyond some distant door
I knew there must be more to life, and now I'm sure
No dreams of pirate caves, or Indian braves, or magic carpets could
Ever be this good

Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation
It's better than a dream

Higher than the moon
Hazy like a beautiful illusion
Crazy and in confusion
And better than a dream
And better than a dream
