When I Dream Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

I could have a mansion 

That is higher than the trees 

I could have all the gifts I want 

And never ask please 

I could fly to Paris 

[Incomprehensible] at my beck and call 

Why do I go through life 

With nothing at all 

But when I dream 

I dream of you 

Maybe someday 

You will come true 

I can be the singer 

Or the clown in every room 

I can even call someone 

Take me to the moon 

I can put my makeup on 

And drive the men insane 

I can go to bed alone 

And never know his name 

But when I dream 

I dream of you 

Maybe someday 

You will come true 

But when I dream 

I dream of you 

Maybe someday 

You will come true
