[00:00.00] Only A Dream Lyrics
[00:00.01] Artist: The Kinks
[00:00.03] Album: Phobia
[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
