In a world of hope and promises I had a dream of love and blissful happiness I imagined myself with the perfect life Where all that matters to me could be mine But somehow it passed me by And left me stranded here I'm running out of time Too late for me I fear If wishing alone could turn out the light I'd have drifted away to the welcoming night If I could escape just by closing my eyes I'd already be safe under different skies Thought I'd found my fairy tale A bed of roses, how could we fail With everything we needed to be free No storm ahead that we could foresee Still somehow it slipped away A cruel mirage it seems To lure me through my days Yet still appeals to me If wishing alone could turn out the light I'd have drifted away to the welcoming night If I could escape just by closing my eyes I'd already be safe under different skies You've got me on my knees Do you want me to say please I can't go on If wishing alone could turn out the light I'd have drifted away to the welcoming night If I could escape just by closing my eyes I'd already be safe under different skies
