I build castles in the air, as we all do
Just to see them tumble down to the ground
There is no one that my heart can call to
Bluebirds pass me by as I sit around

Watching my dreams go by
Fading away in the sky
That's all I seem to do
For the dreams that I dream don't come true

But one day love came my way and then
Went on its way once again
And though I sing a song, it's hard not to cry
Watching my dreams go by

(Orchestral Interlude)

But one day love came my way and then
Went on its way once again
And though I sing a song, it's hard not to cry
Watching my dreams go by
