Lyrics

I'd have a house out in the country with a wife and a little girl
Enough to stretch a little farther than the next month's grocery bill
And you would finally find the boy, you would help him to be a man
You would face the world together and you would finally understand

Foolish dreams of foolish dreamers, it's all they are
It seems to me we were never meant to reach up quite this far
But foolish dreamers and their lovers still wish on foolish stars
But they're farther than they seem. Foolish dreams

Remember all the dreams we had in school?
We would own the world, we would be nobody's fool
Remember all the glory in our schemes?
Free from cares or worries like water in a stream

Foolish dreams of foolish dreamers, it's all they are
It seems to me we were never meant to reach up quite this far
But foolish dreamers and their lovers believe their foolish hearts
And they're stronger at the seams
Because they still believe in foolish dreams
