Carly Simon - The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of lyrics

(carly simon) Take a look around now Change the direction Adjust the tuning Try a new translation Don't look at your man in the same old way Take a new picture Just because you don't see shooting stars Doesn't mean it isn't perfect Can't you see... It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's the slow and steady fire It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's your heart and soul's desire It's the stuff that dreams are made of So what's this about your best friend? She's got a brand new shiny boy And they're moving out to malibu To play with all his pretty toys And you feel closed in by the same four walls The same old conversation With the same old guy you've know for years But use your imagination And you will see.... It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's the slow and steady fire It's the stuff that dreams are made of It's your heart and soul's desire It's the stuff that dreams are made of What if the prince on the horse in your fairytale Is right here in disguise And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for Are shining in his eyes Don't look at yourself in the same old way Take another picture Shoot the stars off in your own backyard Don't look any further And you will see It's the stuff that dreams are made of....
