Every night I get to browse
In dream bookstores, when luck allows.
With books I never knew exist.
I pick out some I can’t resist
| Chorus: |
And I want (yeah-yeah, yeah) A book (yeah-yeah, yeah) To read (yeah-yeah, yeah) At home (yeah-yeah, yeah) I want a dream novel That I can wake up and still own. |
Every night, before I’m done,
The real world disrupts my fun.
I clutch the books I want to take.
They’re never there when I awake.
(Chorus)
Someday, when I get wise.
I’ll memorize the spines.
That way, when I arise,
They be won’t hard to find.
Dream novels can’t be bought
That slip away each time they’re caught.
Their titles change or fade away.
They cannot stand the light of day.
(Chorus)
