REALITY
sung by: Richard Sanderson

Met you by surprise

I didn't realize that my life would change forver

Saw you standing there

I didn't kinow I care

There is something special in the air

Dreams are my reality

The only kind of real fantasy

Illusions are a common thing

I try to live in dreams

It seems as if it's meant to be

Dreams are my reality

A different kind of reality

I dream of loving in the night

And loving seems alright

Although it's only fantasy

If you do exist

Honey, don't resist

Show me a new way of loving

Tell me that it's true

Show me what to do

I feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality

The only kind of reality

Maybe my foolishness is past

And maybe now at last

I see how a real thing can be

Dreams are my reality

A wonderous world where I like to be

I dream of holding you all night

And holding you seems right

Perhaps that's my reality

Met you by surprise

I didn't realize

That my life would change forever

Tell me that it's true

Feelings that are cue

I feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality

A wonderous world where I like to be

Illusions are a common thing

I try to live in dreams

It seems as if it's meant to be

Dreams are my reality

I like to dream of those close to me

I dream of loving in the night

And loving you seems right

Perhaps that's my reality
