There was a string of pearls And I gave them to the sky And I honestly, honestly tried To the play the games that you designed But emotional swings leave us left, leave us left with only a tire And we're swinging out of life It's only life where love stays alive And you know you're not really alive Just a shadow falling apart And no matter how much you try You can't make sunshine all the time And I turn away, oh and each time you say What a dream, what a dream it could be And I shifted my eyes, oh and I tried to be kind, When there's no one and there's no hope and there's nothing in you, And there's nothing in you to believe So where, where are you now We're wondering, wondering how How to fall down on your knees And finally admit all the things you believe And oh you know you're not really alive Just a shadow falling behind No matter how much you try, try, try You can't make the sunshine all the time But I turn away and oh you started to say what a dream, what a dream, a dream it could be And I shifted my eyes oh and I tried to be kind When there's no one and there's no hope And there's nothing left, nothing left to believe
