Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
I never thought that you would be with someone like me
I'm just a poor boy, from a poor family
Scrimping and saving, trying my best to succeed
I don't have much to give, but you can count on me
We'll build our future however we want it to be
I must be dreaming, it's too good to be true
And life is never quite what it seems
Can't shake the feeling, I'm still thinking of you
But I'm forever stuck in between
In my dreams, I'm your king and you're my queen
I saw you yesterday, at the city park
And now I'm stuck at home pacing around in the dark
I don't know what to say, but in reality
Anyway the wind blows it doesn't really matter to me
Why can't we give love, just another chance
The night is getting late and this is our last dance
I must be dreaming, it's too good to be true
And life is never quite what it seems
Can't shake the feeling, I'm still thinking of you
But I'm forever stuck in between
In my dreams, I'm your king and you're my queen
