[00:06.88] |
|
[00:11.46] |
Standing by the elevator |
[00:14.02] |
Feeling gloomy and down |
[00:17.39] |
Waiting for the flashing light |
[00:19.68] |
To lift me up from the ground |
[00:22.62] |
Then the elevator opened |
[00:24.59] |
And I saw her standing there |
[00:27.58] |
She had to be a young executive |
[00:30.73] |
She looked so corporate and clean |
[00:33.52] |
And I thought I'd seen her somewhere before |
[00:36.13] |
On the cover of a magazine |
[00:39.27] |
I didn't think she'd even look at me |
[00:41.61] |
Or bother to glance my way |
[00:44.45] |
But she actually smiled at me and said |
[00:47.65] |
Hi-ya handsome, have a good day |
[00:51.13] |
|
[00:51.40] |
I must be dreaming if she looks at me |
[00:56.38] |
I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy |
[01:01.53] |
Now I've got positive emotions |
[01:05.51] |
Buzzing 'round every molecule in me |
[01:08.21] |
I gotta be dreaming, is it reality |
[01:12.63] |
But over and over I live that memory |
[01:18.35] |
Was it real or only a dream |
[01:23.81] |
La la la la |
[01:29.87] |
|
[01:36.11] |
Was it my imagination playing tricks on me |
[01:43.00] |
When she looked my way |
[01:46.68] |
Maybe she took me for somebody else |
[01:51.54] |
Whatever it was, it made my day, hey hey |
[01:59.39] |
I wake up in the morning |
[02:02.17] |
Smiling with anticipation |
[02:05.05] |
Suddenly I feel alive |
[02:07.99] |
Face the world with expectation |
[02:11.13] |
I must be dreaming, this is a smile upon my face |
[02:16.39] |
I got be dreaming this world is a better place |
[02:21.35] |
Was my imagination playing tricks on me |
[02:27.11] |
Was it real or only a dream? |
[02:33.32] |
I see a great big sunset |
[02:37.25] |
Where only clouds used to be |
[02:42.72] |
Was it all an illusion, is it fantasy |
[02:51.51] |
If it's just a dream |
[02:54.14] |
It's good enough for me, yeah yeah |
[02:58.42] |
|
[02:59.30] |
Waiting by the elevator |
[03:01.08] |
Feeling optimistic and keen |
[03:04.04] |
Waiting for my executive goddess |
[03:06.58] |
to appear as if in a dream |
[03:09.12] |
Then the elevator opened |
[03:11.85] |
She was talking to another guy |
[03:14.34] |
And I tried to say hello to her |
[03:17.67] |
But I failed to even catch her eye |
[03:20.36] |
Then everybody crowded inside |
[03:23.61] |
And I sadly stood my ground |
[03:25.73] |
Thinking life's just like that elevator |
[03:30.94] |
It takes you up and brings you down |
[03:31.56] |
|
[03:31.80] |
I must be dreaming if she looks at me |
[03:36.67] |
I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy |
[03:42.39] |
Now I've got positive emotions |
[03:45.90] |
Buzzing 'round every molecule in me |
[03:49.23] |
I gotta be dreaming, is it reality |
[03:54.27] |
But over and over I live that memory |
[03:59.25] |
Was it real or only a dream |
[04:05.43] |
La la la la |
[04:15.31] |
Was it only an illusion |
[04:21.87] |
Was it real or only a dream |
