Dreams and Fairy Tales
When I was a little boy
My Daddy said to me
One day son, you'll go to a university
Be a doctor son, you won't regret the words I say, that's what I'd be
If I had had my way
Dreams and fairy tales
We see them every day
Dreams and fairy tales
Are sometimes here to stay
Dreams I had before and surely will again
But fairy tales only live in childhood days
So the time went by
And I grew to be a man
I met up with a rough crowd
And the leader's name was Sam
He taught me how to fight
He said that's the way to be
I forgot
What my Daddy said to me
Dreams and fairy tales
We see them every day
Dreams and fairy tales
Are sometimes here to stay
Dreams I had before and surely will again
But fairy tales only live in childhood days
My dreams became a nightmare
With every passing night
I knew my Daddy's pipe dreams
Would never come to light
Living in the bar rooms
I knew that I would fail
Daddy's dream
Was just a fairy tale
Dreams and fairy tales
We see them every day
Dreams and fairy tales
Are sometimes here to stay
Dreams I had before and surely will again
But fairy tales only live in childhood days
Now I'm looking back
And how the years have flown
Try to give advice
To a young boy of my own
Fairy tales will fade
When he becomes a man
But if I dream
I hope he'll understand
Dreams and fairy tales
We see them every day
Dreams and fairy tales
Are sometimes here to stay
Dreams I had before and surely will again
But fairy tales only live in childhood days
Dreams and fairy tales
We see them every day
Dreams and fairy tales
Are sometimes here to stay
Dreams I had before and surely will again
But fairy tales only live in childhood days
