At my late teens I will never forget anthems like ‘Zombie‘ & ‘Linger‘. Thank you Dolores for being part of my youth & dreams…
‘Dreams‘
“Oh, my life is changing everyday,
In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams, it’s never quite as it seems,
Never quite as it seems.
I know I’ve felt like this before, but now I’m feeling it even more,
Because it came from you.
And then I open up and see the person falling here is me,
A different way to be.
Ah, la da ah…
La…
I want more impossible to ignore,
Impossible to ignore.
And they’ll come true, impossible not to do,
Impossible not to do.
And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don’t hurt me.
You’re what I couldn’t find.
A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind;
You’re everything to me.
Oh, my life,
Is changing every day,
In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams,
It’s never quite as it seems,
‘Cause you’re a dream to me,
Dream to me.
Ah, da, da da da, da, la…”
