Beauty Of A Dream

The beauty of a dream is you don't let it go Once in a while a girl comes along And opens you your heart like a spam tin Just how long can it take; the bough bends, the bough breaks Then when it's time to return the key She'll flash you a smile as she slams the door But you didn't have to do that to me To show me just how cruel love could be And cruel's a show I kinda starred in before Listen... These things take time to reach ground zero Change hits so hard, and the world turns so slow These things take time, and next time you'll know That the beauty of a dream is you don't let it go You don't ever let it go Now how come a hand as gentle as yours Could soften a hard nut like this one It's a marvel to me the way you wrap my heart up completely Wherever I roam I can't seem to find As decent a love as the one I left behind Keep it slow, though, for me girl I never thought I'd sink in this deep Oh, darling, I'm sinking like a bug in a peach But listen... These things take time to reach ground zero Change hurts so good that the world screams hello! These things take time but this time I know That the beauty of a dream is you don't let it go You don't ever let it go (3X) And I believe in the promises I made you And I mean to keep 'em over and over again BOOM! There's a cannon for the first twenty years BOOM! There's a cannon for the next It's a marvel to me, I never thought I'd sink in this deep Oh darling, I'm sinking like a frog on a leaf
