I Can Dream Can't I

Cleo Laine

As we eye the blue horizon's bend,

Earth and sky appear to meet and end,

But it's merely an illusion;

Like your heart and mine there is no sweet conclusion



I can see

No matter how near you'll be

You'll never belong to me,

But I can dream, can't I?

Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace?

For dreams are just like wine,

And I am drunk with mine.



I'm aware

My heart is a sad affair

There's much disillusion there

But I can dream, can't I?

Can't I adore you

Although we are oceans apart?

I can't make you open your heart

But I can dream, can't I?



I'm aware

My heart is a sad affair

There's much disillusion there

But I can dream, can't I?

Can't I adore you

Although we are oceans apart?

I can't make you open your heart

But I can dream, can't I?



Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace?

For dreams are just like wine,

And I am drunk with mine.



I'm aware

My heart is a sad affair

There's much disillusion there

But I can dream, can't I?

Can't I adore you

Although we are oceans apart?

I can't make you open your heart

But I can dream, can't I?
