Daydream
Roy orbison /joe melson
Daydream, daydream, daydream
Well, day-day-daydream
Well i got troubles on my mind
And time on my hands and i'm lonely
I leave the world behind
And i spend all my time with you only
Well there's a place i know
Where we can go
So we can be alone
Sometimes i live in a dream world of my own
Well here i go, away up high
And daydream, daydream, daydream
Well i run away on the milky way
And daydream of you
Well, when things are not so hot
And i've got the blues
I dream a lot
Yeah, when i'm not with you
Well it's so much fun to be the one
On a flight through fantasy
Well, when i dream
Yuo're always with me
Well here i go, away up high
And daydream, daydream, daydream
??? ???, and i catch a shooting star
And daydream of you
You, you, you
You, you, you

Once Upon A Daydream
Once upon a daydream
I fell in love with you
Once upon a moonbeam
I gave that love to you
Once upon a lifetime
I knew it must be true
When the months had turned us
I'd have to marry you
Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for tenderness
Once her daddy found out
He threw her to the floor
He killed her unborn baby
And kicked me from the door
Once upon a nightmare
I bought myself a gun
I blew her daddy's brains out
Now hell has just begun
Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for sentiment
(Oh....)
Once upon a lifetime
A lifetime filled with tears
The boy would pay for his crime
With all his natural years
Once upon a daydream
He'd make you his someday
Once upon a moonbeam
He'd dream his life away
Once upon a daydream
Doesn't happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for miracles
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a day...

Existentialism does not offer to the reader the consolations of an abstract evasion: existentialism proposes no evasion.

In all secrets there is a kind of guilt, however beautiful or joyful they may be, or for what good end they may be set to serve. Secrecy means evasion, and evasion means a problem to the moral mind.

Dancer In A Daydream
What an odd situation
What you got is basic emotions
Can you feel them
I want to be your lover
But youre so shy
What you need is perfect assistance
Let me guide you
To a land youve never seen before
I guess you see
I have another daydream
I guess you see
That I have another daydream
Come and be a dancer
Dance into my daydream
Join me in my daydream wet and wild
Come and be a dancer
Dance into my daydream
Join me in my jungle wet and wild
To help another person
Will make you feel important
You got my invitation
But youre so shy
Come and let your wild side show
And be a dancer
A dancer in a daydream we can share
I guess you see...
Help me take control
Of my full imagination
Im looking for a man
Who will watch my situation
Im thinking about the people
Waiting down the line
I am the limelight nows my time
I guess you see...
What you gonna do Im a bold explosion

Daydream 2
Sitting in a chair as our eyelids get heavy
we drift into a daydream, imagining things
how we would like them to be.
The swirling goddess of love
running to our arms in the summer sun,
whose body glistens with perspiration.
We fall into each other’s arms,
our kisses flow free over our bodies
as our daydream takes us
to the near side of paradise.
The raptures of our heartbeats
enrapture our soul.
We are whom we are,
never wanting to return,
just hoping always to be
caught up within our daydream.

Pearly Drops
Pearly drops,
Rain drops,
Snow falls,
Waterfalls!
To catch what you want and,
To get what you desire;
With, wither!
Day,
Daydream,
Thoughts of daydream;
But, left alone in the race.

Daydream Believer
Oh, I could hide neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six oclock alarm would never ring.
Whoops its ringing and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin razors cold and it stings.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times starts and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
[instrumental interlude]
Cheer up, sleepy jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

Rhythm Of Love
Innocence no answer
To your breaking heart
If the situation
Sometimes falls apart
Then in this ecstasy
Your charms are frozen
No emotion falling through your arms
Morning, daydream, time still growing shorter
Take me over lead me to the water
To the rhythm of love
The rhythm of love
The rhythm of love
Why should I escort you
To your secret needs
Climbing up your ladder
I keep falling down
Anyway will do
Anyone will do
When you dance to your darkest tune
Surrounded
As you crawl around the room
Night time fever burning till youre higher
Take me over lead me through the fire
The rhythm of love
To the rhythm of love
The rhythm of love
To the rhythm of love
Morning daydream midnight fever
Morning daydream midnight fever
Inhibitions keep you from your point of view
Information needing to confuse
In this situation I have found you
In the rhythm of
Morning daydream midnight fever
Morning daydream midnight fever
Rhythm of love
Rhythm of love
To the rhythm of love
Rhythm of love

Daydream
La, la, la, la, yeah
La, la, la la
I could have been the one you noticed
I could have been all over you
I could have been like all the others
Is that what I'm supposed to do?
It would have been really stupid
If I would have went home with you
To give you everything you wanted
It would've been way too soon
I try to be sensitive
I try to be tough
I try to walk away
I try to be innocent
I try to be rough
But I just wanna play-y
You're my daydream
And I've been thinking about you late-ly
And everytime I look at you I can't explain
I feel insane
I can't get away
You're my daydream
And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know
You're making me insane
And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know
You're doing it again
And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know
You're making me insane
And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know
You're doing it again...

No sooner is the law made than its evasion is discovered.
As fast as laws are devised, their evasion is contrived.
What I try to do in a play is put a problem on stage, head-on, without evasion.

Daydreamer
I am a daydreamer
escaping from the real world
and into my very own.
In my world there is no black clouds
to sadden anyone’s face
only sunshine and a world full of smiles
that radiate out from everyone.
No harsh words are spoken
only kind and loving ones.
Everyone is a brother or a sister
in this daydream world of mine.
There are no wars,
no mother’s son is sacrificed
to die on a battlefield.
Love fills the air with music
and warmth for everyone,
so come along with me
and let us retreat
into that daydream world of mine.

Gonna Build A Mountain
1: Im gonna build a mountain, from a little hill.
Im gonna build a mountain, least I hope I will.
Im gonna build a mountain, Im gonna build it high.
I dont know how Im gonna do it, only know Im gonna try.
2: Im gonna build a daydream, from a little hope.
Im gonna push the daydream, up that mountain slope.
Im gonna build a daydream, woah, Im gonna see it through.
Gonna build a mountain and a daydream,
Gonna make em both come true.
3: Im gonna build a heaven, as a will someday,
And the lord sends ga-bri-el to take me away.
Woah, I wanna fine young son, to take my place.
Ill leave my son in my heaven on earth with the good lords grace.

Shades Of Endeavors Made
At Sunrise and the dew witnessed,
Seems to slowly cease with a patient drifting...
From making that early morning appearance,
Mindsets of those young and clinging dwell...
In a hop scotching done from daydream to daydream,
Forever locked to do this as if tomorrow sits awaiting for them.
Shades of endeavors made show themselves,
More after high noon has been lived and noticed.
An urgency develops when shadows begin to extend.
And a process that began when one beams under Sun,
Without the thinking of days coming to an end...
Become more serious as the Sunset approaches.
With a realization that this life lived to experience,
Ignores those believing an 'immortality' will give them more time.
