Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Clearing skies and drying eyes
Now I see your smile
Darkness goes and softness shows
A changing style
[Verse 2]
Just in time, words that rhyme
Will bless your soul
Now I'll fill your hands
With kisses and a Tootsie Roll
[Verse 3]
Oh reality, it's not for me
And it makes me laugh
Oh, a fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
[Verse 4]
Patti Page and summer days
On old Cape Cod
Happy times making wine
In my garage
Country shade and lemonade
Guess I'm slowing down
It's a turned back world
With a local girl
In a smaller town
[Verse 5]
Open cars and clearer stars
That's what I've lacked, oh
But fantasy worlds and Disney girls
I'm falling back
[Verse 6]
Love, hi Rick and Dave
Hi Pop, good morning Mom
Love, get up, guess what?
I'm in love with a girl I found
She's really swell 'cause she likes
Church, bingo chances and old time dances
[Verse 7]
All my life I've spent the nights
With dreams of you
And the warmth I missed
And for the things I wished
They're all coming true
[Verse 8]
I've got my love to give
And a place to live
Guess I'm gonna stay
It'd be a peaceful life
With a forever wife
And a kid someday
[Verse 9]
Well it's early nights
And pillow fights
And your soft laugh, oh
Fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
[Verse 10]
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Ooh
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
