I Shouldn't Have To Dream

~ Rock Ballad(?) with piano, strings, synth, percussion ~ 2021-06-14


No reason to sit around dreaming. There is still time; there is still hope. Go out and get it.

Lyrics

V1

It's been one of those days
When I think of the things that I'm missing
Ev'rything that I had 'til it all went bad.

I fear maybe my chances are over
And that perfect thing; that perfect dream is gone

CHORUS

But when I see your face, I know that I'm craz---
-y enough to fall in love again
I can barely catch my breath; it scares me half to death
But I can't stop, I'm jumping, jumpin in.

Becuase I shouldn't have to dream.
shouldn't have to dream.


V2

Once I get to know you,
I am sure you will have your shortcomings.
You will come with a history; just like me

Call me ignorantly optimistic;
I know nothing is as perfect as it seems.

CHORUS

But when I think of you, Suddenly I am stu---
oopid enough to fall in love again
I can barely catch my breath; it scares me half to death
But I can't stop, I'm jumping, jumpin in.


BRIDGE (SPOKEN)

When I see you, my heart beats so fast
But I don't know what to say.
I freeze and wait for you to pass
But you never come my way.

I love your smile
I love your grace
I love every gesture
I'm lost in space.

I want to take everything I feel
And make it real.

Make it more than just a dream.
More than just a dream.


INSTRUMENTAL

'Cause when I look at you, I'm instantly foo---
-oolish enough to fall in love again!
I can barely catch my breath; it scares me half to death
But I can't stop, I'm jumping, jumpin in.

Because I shouldn't have to dream.
Because I shouldn't have to dream.
And somehow I still believe.
