When you were little

I wish I was you

Now don’t you wake up
                      G
The dream will come true

Chorus:

You're the dream operator

Bigger than life
You know it's all me
My face is a book
But it's not what it seems
Three angels above
The whole human race
They dream us to life
They dream me a face

Chorus:
And every dream tells it all
And this is your story
You dreamed me a heart
You're the dream operator

Am F C
Shake-it-up dream
Hi-di-ho dream
Fix-it-up dream
Look at me dream
I've been waiting so long
Now I am your dream

Hard to forget
It's hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You're out on your own
Let go of your life
Grab on to my hand
Here in the clouds
Where we'll understand

Chorus:
And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You're the dream operator - x2
