lyrics

In my daydreams, I’m taller and smarter and stronger
I can swim in the sea, dive deeper and hold my breath longer
In my daydreams, I’m singing as sweet as a songbird in the spring
But reality stings so I guess I’ll just sit here and daydream

In my real life, my parents they just love to say things
Like, “Clean up your room, son, and put away all of your playthings
Seize the day, son, go out and do things and make things that are great!”
But I ain’t feeling too great, so I guess I’ll just sit here and daydream

In the classroom as I’m watching the dust in a sunbeam
My teacher yells, “Focus!” and cuts off my fantasy midstream
She says, “Make the grade, son, you’ll be accomplishing great things everyday!”
But I just made a C+ so I guess I’ll just sit here and daydream

In my daydreams, I can soar through the clouds like an eagle
In my daydreams, I’m a king on a throne, good and regal
In my daydreams, I’m vanquishing every evil, come what may
But I’m hit by an arrow and my soul like a sparrow just flutters, flutters away…

In a green field, I lay back and stare up at a jetstream
My mind’s in the sky and my body’s adrift in a slipstream
But my coach yells, “Get up, son, or you’re never making the A Team, no way!”
That can be your thing but I am the star of my daydreams, oh
You keep your own dreams and I’ll keep on living my daydreams
Day-ay-aydreams!
