[00:06.88]======================
[00:07.85]
[00:11.46]Standing by the elevator
[00:14.02]Feeling gloomy and down
[00:17.39]Waiting for the flashing light
[00:19.68]To lift me up from the ground
[00:22.62]Then the elevator opened
[00:24.59]And I saw her standing there
[00:27.58]She had to be a young executive
[00:30.73]She looked so corporate and clean
[00:33.52]And I thought I'd seen her somewhere before
[00:36.13]On the cover of a magazine
[00:39.27]I didn't think she'd even look at me
[00:41.61]Or bother to glance my way
[00:44.45]But she actually smiled at me and said
[00:47.65]Hi-ya handsome, have a good day
[00:51.13]
[00:51.40]I must be dreaming if she looks at me
[00:56.38]I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy
[01:01.53]Now I've got positive emotions
[01:05.51]Buzzing 'round every molecule in me
[01:08.21]I gotta be dreaming, is it reality
[01:12.63]But over and over I live that memory
[01:18.35]Was it real or only a dream
[01:23.81]La la la la
[01:29.87]
[01:36.11]Was it my imagination playing tricks on me
[01:43.00]When she looked my way
[01:46.68]Maybe she took me for somebody else
[01:51.54]Whatever it was, it made my day, hey hey
[01:59.39]I wake up in the morning
[02:02.17]Smiling with anticipation
[02:05.05]Suddenly I feel alive
[02:07.99]Face the world with expectation
[02:11.13]I must be dreaming, this is a smile upon my face
[02:16.39]I got be dreaming this world is a better place
[02:21.35]Was my imagination playing tricks on me
[02:27.11]Was it real or only a dream?
[02:33.32]I see a great big sunset
[02:37.25]Where only clouds used to be
[02:42.72]Was it all an illusion, is it fantasy
[02:51.51]If it's just a dream
[02:54.14]It's good enough for me, yeah yeah
[02:58.42]
[02:59.30]Waiting by the elevator
[03:01.08]Feeling optimistic and keen
[03:04.04]Waiting for my executive goddess
[03:06.58]to appear as if in a dream
[03:09.12]Then the elevator opened
[03:11.85]She was talking to another guy
[03:14.34]And I tried to say hello to her
[03:17.67]But I failed to even catch her eye
[03:20.36]Then everybody crowded inside
[03:23.61]And I sadly stood my ground
[03:25.73]Thinking life's just like that elevator
[03:30.94]It takes you up and brings you down
[03:31.56]
[03:31.80]I must be dreaming if she looks at me
[03:36.67]I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy
[03:42.39]Now I've got positive emotions
[03:45.90]Buzzing 'round every molecule in me
[03:49.23]I gotta be dreaming, is it reality
[03:54.27]But over and over I live that memory
[03:59.25]Was it real or only a dream
[04:05.43]La la la la
[04:15.31]Was it only an illusion
[04:21.87]Was it real or only a dream
