We painted dreams and how we wished they'd all come true We hoped for more than pallet brush and canvas could ever prove Well maybe we could get our hopes up one more time We're not the kids we were that doesn't mean we should be blind Chasing the painting of a dream Chasing the only thing that ever made sense to me Oh, it is hard but it is easy It might seem wrong but it's so right So let us conjure up the feeling And paint the dreams we used to paint tonight We flew so high, we didn't know limits existed then 'Til we got older and woke up and stopped playing pretend Well what's more real than how I feel and how I felt back then I will dust my paint and brushes off And I will dream again Chasing the painting of a dream Chasing the only thing that ever made sense to me Oh, it is hard but it is easy It might seem wrong but it's so right So let us conjure up the feeling And paint the dreams we used to paint tonight Oh, it is hard but it is easy It might seem wrong but it 's so right So let us conjure up the feeling And paint the dreams that used to make us feel so alive
