Dream For Your Inspiration
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
Performer(s): Elvis Costello



I used to think that I was just a no-count
I used to think that I would get nowhere
But then I learned that when I'm feelin' low down
I'm back up on my feet if I remember all my dreams

I used to get to feeling so downhearted
I used to even hate the color green
But every time I think I can't get started
I think of all my dreams and then I'm right back on the beam

You've got to dream for your inspiration
Dream of what you can do
Cause with your dreams and some perspiration
Anything within your dreaming is within your reach

I used to think that I was nothing special
That I was just another pretty face
But now I know that I will be successful
If I always do just what I really want to do

Dream of your secret wishes
Dream of your highest hopes
'Cause if you dream
You can make your dreams come true

When you've fin'lly decided
Things aren't as bad as they seem
You just can't deny it
Where there's a will there's a dream

Dream for your inspiration
Dream of what you can do
'Cause if you dream
You can make your dreams come true
You've got to dream, dream, dream
