You're Not My Dream Come True

You're not my dream come true
Not the words she wanted to hear
She said, Boy, you better get a clue
You tell me that after more than a year?
She said, I thought that we had something good
I thought you'd ask me if I would
Say yes to you and what we might share
Now it turns out you don't care

So I smiled and I took her hand
And I said, Listen, baby, understand
You're not my dream come true
Cause I never ever dreamed
Something as good as you
As good as you

I would dream as a child
That I hit the last shot and the crowd went wild
Then I dreamed in high school too
That I played rock and roll like the great ones do
Then I dreamed as a man
That I changed the world and took my stand
So that everybody knew my name
Just like that boy who won that game

But now I know there's so much more
A year ago stopped keeping score
You're not my dream come true
Cause I never ever dreamed
Something as good as you
As good as you

And she said, I had my dreams too
I hit that last shot better than you
You're not the only one
Who's felt that ache for what might come
I know it's true, what we've been told
Time goes by and folks get old
Still there's such a thing as thrill-my-soul
It's like a better kind of rock and roll

You can get a PhD
And learn a lot about why we dream
But even then, with that degree
Your hopes aren't always what they seem

Here we are, it's you and I
And we're wide awake with open eyes
And I know your name, and you know mine
And we can take a walk, and take our time
Then I cried and I took her hand
And I said, Now we know we understand
You're not my dream come true
Cause I never ever dreamed
Something or someone or anyone as good as you
As good as you
