[Verse 1]
I was not myself last night
Couldn't set things right
With apologies or flowers
Out of place as a cryin' clown
Who could only frown
And the play went on for hours
And as I lived my role
I swore I'd sell my soul

[Chorus 1]
For one love who would stand by me
And give me back the gift of laughter, yeah
One love who would stand by me
And after making love
We'd dream a bit of style
We'd dream a bunch of friends
Dream each other's smile
And dream it never ends

[Verse 2]
I was not myself last night
In the morning light
I could see the change was showing
Like a child who was always poor
Reaching out for more
I could feel the hunger growing
And as I lost control
I swore I'd sell my soul
[Chorus 2]
For one love who would sing my song
And fill this emptiness inside me
One love who would sing my song
And lay beside me while
We'd dream a bit of style
Dream a bunch of friends
Dream each other's smile
And dream it never ends

[Bridge/Outro]
All my dreams are lost and I can't sleep
And sleep alone could ease my mind
All my tears have dried and I can't weep
Old emotions may they rest in peace
And dream, dream a bunch of friends
Rest in peace and dream, dream it never ends
