IN THE REAL WORLD
(Jennings / Kerr)
Roy Orbison


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.
