Billy Joel — Everybody Has a Dream/The Stranger Reprise

[Verse 1] While in these days Of quiet desperation As I wander through The world in which I live I search everywhere For some new inspiration But it's more than cold reality can give If I need a cause for celebration Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind I rely on my imagination And I dream of an imaginary time [Chorus] I know that everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream And this is my dream, my own Just to be at home And to be all alone with you [Verse 2] If I believe in all the words I'm saying And if a word from you Can bring a better day Then all I have are these games That I've been playing To keep my hope from crumbling away So let me lie and let me go on sleeping And I will lose myself In palaces of sand And all the fantasies That I will be keeping Will make the empty hours easier Easier to stand [Chorus] And I know that everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream And this is my dream, my own Just to be at home And to be all alone All alone with you, oh With you [Outro] I know that everybody has a dream Oh, everybody has a dream And I know everybody has a dream Everybody, everybody, everybody (Everybody has a dream) I know that everybody has a dream (Everybody has a dream) Everybody has a dream [Instrumental outro]
