Ain't Dreams Wonderful Things?

Whilst riding with Harry Worth, on a Chair-O –Plane
We watch a Spitfire dogfight, with a cardboard Hurricane
No, it ain't like a journey, you don't go from A to B
You can't change the programme; you ain't watching no TV

Ain't dreams wonderful things? There's a joy in things you can't control
Ain't dreams wonderful things? Close your eyes and open up your soul

I go to a show, sit in the front row
No one seems to notice I'm not wearing any clothes
Though I know I'm only dreaming, I feel the anxiety
It's hard to tell, when you wake up, the fact from fantasy

Ain't dreams wonderful things? There's a joy in things you can't control
Ain't dreams wonderful things? Close your eyes and open up your soul

I'm on an island, salt free, the wind
I'm flying with eagles, on paper wings
Oh! It feels so easy, just how life was meant to be It's so hard to come back, to what we call reality

Ain't dreams wonderful things? There's a joy in things you can't control
Ain't dreams wonderful things? Close your eyes and open up your soul
