It's been a happy day Try not to spoil it now Please don't get hung up that way
Oh, he's not the boy for you And I think you know it's true Kiss him and don't start to cry
'Cause you're having a pipe dream, an ordinary pipe dream Now you see him flashing right before your eyes You're having a sweet dream, a lifelong sweet dream I'm the one who loves you, can't you see it's me?
Pipe dream Pipe dream Come back to reality
Now, in your mind there's always me That's the way it's gonna be Kiss him and tell him goodbye
I say you won't have to dream tonight Tomorrow you might be clear and bright I think the pipe's going out
'Cause you're having a pipe dream, an ordinary pipe dream Now you see him flashing right before your eyes You're having a sweet dream, a lifelong sweet dream I'm the one who loves you, can't you see it's me?
Pipe dream Pipe dream Come back to reality Hey, coming back to reality
The eyes of a man That can see what you can Are the eyes that can see Far beyond you and me So we'll wait and we'll wait Until we are like he.
He sees the beauty in a flower That you or I'd pass by Tormented is his mind But we've ignored the cries.
What is the world To a man with no hands? And what is the world To a man with no ears? And what is the world To a man with no tongue? To a man with all three But who knows less than he.
He feels the world going round Right beneath his feet Sees the wealth of man Struggling in his heat.
<instrumental>
The frost of Autumn kills the flower Held in his hand Pity to lose him now Summer is the man.

Did you ever see a girl grow up before your eyes Her girlish smile has turned to woman's sighs And denim has turned to chiffon and lace To adorn the beauty of a woman's face
That time goes by so very fast (Time goes by so very fast) And you know your younger years won't last (Younger years, they won't last) So take these childhood dreams as they come Oh, and learn to live each day one by one
Oh, she could have been like any girl who lived next door Or the one you played with a thousand times before Well, you'd see her growing up before your eyes And as time goes past you'll soon realize
That time goes by so very fast (Time goes by so very fast) And you know your younger years won't last (Younger years, they won't last) So take these childhood dreams as they come Oh, and learn to live each day one by one
Sometimes I think about old folks back home That 12 mile road that I used to roam Sometimes I think about that girl named Willie Jean Wondering if she made it down to New Orleans
Whenever I think about the folks back there You know I wonder if they still have that old county fair
Sometimes I think about that girl named Willie Jean Wondering if she made it down to New Orleans
We used to watch river boats From a grassy bank Drinking hot water from a railroad filling tank
Sometimes I think about that girl named Willie Jean Wondering if she made it down to New Orleans
The folks back there say Why you come to home Now here I am Sitting here on this county farm
Sometimes I think about that girl named Willie Jean Wondering if she made it down to New Orleans
Oh, Willie Jean, Willie Jean Would you come back to me Here I'm sitting here on this county farm Willie Jean, Willie Jean Would you come back Come on, help me now
