Lyrics Dreams - The Kinks

When I look so far away

Please don't wake me from my dreams

I'm just wondering who I could be

If I lived inside my dreams

I could be a king or a football star

Drive around in a big sports car

An astronaut or a millionaire

I could do anything or go anywhere

Dream I'm far away

Racing driver or a great politician

A man of power or a man of religion

I could be almost anything

If I could live inside my dreams

Dream I'm far away

Please don't wake me from my dreams

When I look so far away

Please don't wake me from my daze

I'm just wondering who I could be

If I lived inside my dreams
