Lyrics

[00:25.520] I picture us together
[00:28.550] Framed in gold leaf
[00:31.920] On the mantle with the others
[00:35.500] One big happy family
[00:38.210] But that snapshot can't be found
[00:41.450] And I don't trust my memory
[00:44.890] But it's alright it's alright
[00:47.970] For a dream
[00:50.540]
[00:54.650] I imagine we are gathered
[00:57.820] But this time not dressed in black
[01:01.260] There's laughing and smiling
[01:04.269] Not stabbing in the back
[01:07.580] But it's too good to be true
[01:10.710] And too bad I still recall the screams
[01:14.300] It's alright
[01:15.880] It's alright
[01:17.480] All that I can claim
[01:20.130]
[01:23.620] I keep half the picture
[01:27.810] Mostly in my mind
[01:30.880] Mama dressed in white
[01:33.960] Ripped when she held your hand
[01:37.560] Showing no signs of age
[01:39.860] Just slightly frayed along the seam
[01:43.310] It's alright
[01:45.700] It's alright
[01:46.690] All that I can claim
[01:49.910]
[01:52.640] It's alright
[01:56.690] All that I can claim
[01:59.870] It's alright
[02:02.770] And it will have to do
[02:06.470] It's alright
[02:09.380] Better than the pain
[02:12.700] It's alright
[02:16.250] Better than the truth
[02:18.980] It's alright
[02:22.320] Alright for a dream
[02:25.500] It's alright
[02:28.890] Better than fate and the great scheme
[02:32.230] It's alright
[02:35.260] It's alright
[02:38.500]
[02:42.540] For christmas and for New Year
[02:45.710] I wish and I resolve
[02:48.620] But I'm disappointed by myself
[02:52.410] Jesus and Santa Claus
[02:55.700] I want to believe
[02:58.329] She's been saved
[03:00.160] And he's be redeemed
[03:01.750] And it's alright it's alright
[03:04.850] For a dream
[03:07.990]
