Lyrics

(C)Sug ar.

Some (G)times I still see (C)her,

my (G)moth er the dream er.

She’d say, (G)“Noth ing’s im pos si ble, child.”

A (G)dream needs be liev ing

to (G)taste like the real thing.

Like some (G)strang er you rec og (C)nize.

(C)(So

(C)(So

pure.) So (G)sure, so con nect ed

to those (G)lit tle be liev ers (Am)in side.

May we (C)all be

But (G)dreams are e lu sive.

The kind (G)we’ve got ten used to is (C)noth ing I can feel.

Noth ing I can have.

Noth ing that I know.

Dreams (Am)come and they go.

But (G)hold them and keep them.

And (G)know that you need them.

When your (G)break ing point’s all that

you have,

a dream is a (Cmaj7)soft place to land.

May we (D)all be

so (C)luck y.

(C)Sug ar, but ter,
