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 couldn't see how anything could be Better than a dream Stranger than my wild imagination If this is a real sensation, it's better than a dream. Higher than the moon, Hazy like a beautiful illusion. Crazy and in confusion, And better than a dream. I used to wish I was beyond some distant door, I knew there must be more to life And now I'm sure. No dreams of pirate caves, Or Indian braves, or magic carpets could Ever be this good, Better than a dream Stranger than my wild imagination If this is a real sensation, it's better than a dream. Higher than the moon, Hazy like a beautiful illusion. Crazy and in confusion, And better than a dream. And better than a dream.
