All I Wanted Was The Dream Lyrics by Peter Allen

The Boy from Oz (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

All I wanted was the dream
Just like anybody else
I didn't want it pushed aside
Forgotten on a shelf

I wanted laughs and lots of lovers
And limitless wealth
I just want to say
You're better than anybody else

All I wanted was the time
To obliterate my past
I didn't know how time can come and go
So terribly fast

It's hard to lose it
When you had it right here in your grasp
But then you wake up and it seems
The dream that you dreamed was just too good to last

All I wanted was the time
To obliterate my past
I didn't know how time can come and go
So terribly fast

It's hard to lose it
When you've had it right here in your grasp
But then you wake up and it seems
The dream that you dreamed was just too good to last
