You're Not My Dream Come True Lyrics

You're not my dream come true

Not the words she wanted to hear

She said, Boy, you better get a clue

You tell me that after more than a year?

She said, I thought that we had something good

I thought you'd ask me if I would

Say yes to you and what we might share

Now it turns out you don't care

So I smiled and I took her hand

And I said, Listen, baby, understand

You're not my dream come true

Cause I never ever dreamed

Something as good as you

As good as you

I would dream as a child

That I hit the last shot and the crowd went wild

Then I dreamed in high school too

That I played rock and roll like the great ones do

Then I dreamed as a man

That I changed the world and took my stand

So that everybody knew my name

Just like that boy who won that game

But now I know there's so much more

A year ago stopped keeping score

You're not my dream come true

Cause I never ever dreamed

Something as good as you

As good as you

And she said, I had my dreams too

I hit that last shot better than you

You're not the only one

Who's felt that ache for what might come

I know it's true, what we've been told

Time goes by and folks get old

Still there's such a thing as thrill-my-soul

It's like a better kind of rock and roll

You can get a PhD

And learn a lot about why we dream

But even then, with that degree

Your hopes aren't always what they seem

Here we are, it's you and I

And we're wide awake with open eyes

And I know your name, and you know mine

And we can take a walk, and take our time

Then I cried and I took her hand

And I said, Now we know we understand

You're not my dream come true

Cause I never ever dreamed

Something or someone or anyone as good as you

As good as you
