The Osmonds – I Can't Live A Dream lyrics
The day that you moved away,
Life was so empty.
All I had left,
Was your memory.

Memory, memory.

Livin', it seems,
What was left,
Was a dream.
A dream of the way,
It used to be.

But I can't live a dream,
Anymore than I can live forever.
Anymore than I can climb a mountain,
To the sun.
To the sun...
To the sun...

No I can't live a dream,
Anymore than I can move a mountain.
Anymore than I can live my life,
Without you.
Can't live, no...
No I can't live...

No, no,
No, no...

All of the things I done,
Leaving me lonely.
All of the nights,
Of missing you only.
Only!
Lonely!

I spend my time,
With your face,
On my mind.
Just closing my eyes,
Dreaming of you.

But I can't live a dream,
Anymore than I can live forever.
Anymore than I can climb a mountain,
To the sun.
To the sun...
To the sun...

I can't live a dream,
Anymore than I can live forever.
Anymore than I can climb a mountain,
To the sun.
To the sun...
To the sun...

No I can't live a dream,
Anymore than I can move a mountain.
Anymore than I can live my life,
Without you.
Without you...
Without you...

No I can't live a dream,
Anymore than I can live forever.
[Fade]

    I once loved someone that I wanted to spend my life with.
    He left. I saw him again and though I did love him. Left him. Because there was someone else involved and I did not want to hurt that person or be hurt either. Because I could not trust men again.
    In today's world since so much has changed in the world, most people prefer to live alone because it is wiser and safer.
    It was my case. In many ways. Because having truly loved once, coming from a christian background. I could not trust again and could not give my heart again. As I once did.
    In clear, I left a dream because it was the only moral, wise and safe thing to do.
    And though in my heart, I wish things had been different. And though I still cry sometimes when I hear love songs thinking of the past. I did the right thing then and there. And this and many other things destroyed the faith I have that in today's world there is hope for true, safe, lasting love.
    But, deep in my heart, I hope that the next generation will have understood that they have to be better than we were especially when it comes to responsible, safe, wise and lasting love and marriage.
    This world is destroying too many things//.
