I Can Dream, Can’t I Lyrics

I can see
No matter how near you'll be
You'll never belong to me
But I can dream, can't I?

Can't I pretend
That I'm locked in the bend of your embrace?
For dreams are just like wine
And I am drunk with mine

I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream, can't I?

Can't I adore you
Although we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream, can't I?

I can see
No matter how near you'll be
You'll never belong to me
But I can dream, can't I?

Can't I pretend
That I'm locked in the bend of your embrace?
For dreams are just like wine
And I am drunk with mine
I'm aware
My heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream, can't I?

Can't I adore you
Although we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
