Silhouette of a woman in the pale moonlight
Waiting for her life to turn out right
Husband snoring in deep denile

Dream of heros
Dreams of fairytales
And even though they aint never what they seem

Silhouette of a woman running 'cross the yard

Pixie dust and happy endings
Happy endings
Happiness and

Chorus:
Dreams of heros
Dreams of fairytales
Dreams of miracles
Dreams down the wishing well
Dream of the young man
Dream of a second chance
And even though they aint never what they seem
We believe in dreams
