Roy Orbison - In The Real World lyrics

In dreams we do so many things

We set aside the rules we know

And fly above the world so high

In great and shining rings

If only we could always live in dreams

If only we could make of life what in dreams

It seems

But in the real world

We must say real goodbyes

No matter if the love will live

Will never die

In the real world

There are things that we can't change

And endings come to us

In ways that we can't rearrange

I love you

And you love me

But sometimes we must

Let it be

In the real world

In the real world

When we were dreaming heart to heart

I wish that we had stayed right there

For when the dreamers do awake

The dreams do disappear

If only we could always live in dreams

If only we could make of life what in dreams

It seems

But in the real world

there are things that we can't change

And endings come to us

In ways

That we can't rearrange

I love you

And you love me

But sometimes we must

Let it be

In the real world

In the real world
