When Does a Dream Begin?

Writen and sung by Neil Innes

The outlook for today is mainly tragic
Cloudy, dull, occasional rain and scattered maigc
But unlike those who say
They prefer the good old days
I hardly ever fell nostalgic.
And although the intellectually agile
Can logically prove the heart is fragile
Drifting unawares
Through all of its affairs
Love is still the simple badge I'll proudly wear...

When does a dream begin?
Does it start with a goodnight kiss?
Is it conceived
Or simply achieved?
When does a dream begin?

When does a dream begin?
Is it born in a moment of bliss?
Or it it begun
When two hearts are one?
When does a dream exist?

The vision of you appears somehow
Impossible to resist
But I'm not imagining seeing you
For who could have dreamed this?

When does a dream begin?
When is reality dismissed?
Or does it commence
When we lose all pretence?
When does a dream begin?
