In dreams, you can eat chocolate,
In dreams, you can eat cake,
In dreams, you can do lots of stuff
You shouldn’t while awake

In dreams, you’ll see amazing things,
In dreams, you’ll fly and run,
In dreams, you can undo mistakes
So that they’re never done

In dreams, the roosters can lay eggs,
In dreams, your cat eats toast,
In dreams, you spend the afternoons
With those you love the most

In dreams, the world’s impossible,
In dreams, lies can be true,
But in dreams, remember that
I always will love you
