Celtic Dream
Ronan Hardiman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're not the stars of a Hollywood movie
So what's the use to pretend
I'm not so charming and you're not so groovy
You've got to face it, my friend
Dream world, you've been living in a dream world
Trust me, you just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl
Doesn't mean they're in a dream world
Here I am, there you are
We're gonna make it together
And we've made it so far
So it can only get better
When you reach out and you say to me
"How I love you, girl"
When I hold you baby, can't you see?
It's a real dream world
You've got your hopes and your high expectations
Somehow it doesn't seem right
I'm getting fed up with your accusations
I'm not your angel in white
Dream world, you've been living in a dream world
Trust me you just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl
Doesn't mean they're in a dream world
Here I am, there you are
We're gonna make it together
And we've made it so far
So it can only get better
When you reach out and you say to me
"How I love you, girl"
When I hold you baby, can't you see?
That's a real dream world
Dream world, you've been living in a dream world
Trust me, you just can't escape from reality
Boy meets girl
Doesn't mean they're in a dream world
Here I am, there you are
We're gonna make it together




And we've made it so far
So it can only get better
