Monkees - A Man Without A Dream lyrics

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

With the music of life, my soul is out of tune,

And I feel like I'm growing old much too soon,

My love for you, I just couldn't convey,

And the keys to my happiness, I let slip away.

Now I'm a man without a dream,

I've got a heart that has no hope,

All my senses are numb,

Losing you, I've become,

A man (I'm just a man) without a dream.

Instead of striving to reach my goals and my aims

I got distracted with meaningless games,

For just an illusion, I traded love that was real,

Now my eyes cannot see and my heart cannot feel.

Now I'm a man without a dream,

I've got a heart that has no hope,

All my senses are numb,

Losing you, I've become,

A man (I'm just a man) without a dream.

SOLO

Sometimes I think I'm a prisoner of fate,

Doomed to find out things a little too late,

And so I must play this broken man's role,

Unless you come home, girl, and bring back my soul.

'Cause I'm a man without a dream,

I've got a heart that has no hope,

All my senses are numb,

Losing you, I've become,

A man (I'm just a man) without a dream,

Without a dream,

Without a dream.
