Tell me why, why it is
We all cause each other pain
Chasing after little things
That just get in the way
Sure We'd all like to be somebody
Somebody that we're not
Eventually we realize
It doesn't mean a lot
But I just keep on dreaming
You can often hear me say
I wish I was ten thousand miles away
I wish I was in Paris everyday
The loveliness of Paris
Seems to somehow sadly fade
And suddenly, you realize
It was all a masquerade
But I just keep on dreaming
You can often hear me say
I wish I was Ten thousand miles away
I wish I was in Paris everyday
The grass is always greener
Well at least we think it is
So we run around this great big world
Chasing dreams that don't exist
There's trouble in Los Angeles
People caught up in a war
As usual, nobody knows
What it is they're fighting for
So I just keep on dreaming
You can often hear me say
I wish I was ten thousand miles away
I wish I was in Paris everyday
I'm flying into Paris in the rain
