Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to dream myself
To somewhere else each night
I dreamed in color
'Cause I lived in black and white
Until I chanced upon this road
That led to you
I could not see
How anything could be
[Verse 2]
Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation
It's better than a dream
[Verse 3]
Higher than the moon
Hazy like a beautiful illusion
Crazy and in confusion
And better than a dream
[Verse 4]
I used to wish
I was beyond some distant door
I knew there must be more to life
And now I'm sure
No dream of pirate caves
Or Indian braves
Or magic carpets could
Ever be this good
[Verse 5]
Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation
It's better than a dream
[Verse 6]
Higher than the moon
Hazy like a beautiful illusion
Crazy and in confusion
And better than a dream
Better than a dream
