She wakes up every morning early And stumbles off to face the world again Puts on her face and doesn’t worry She hopes before the day is done Today she might just find someone to love, hmm She’s only living in a dream She knows just what it means Chasing after starlight But long ago she knew someone Now those days are gone And all that’s left are lonely nights It’s after work she doesn’t hurry Before she heads along into the night The hours are long she needs the money ‘Cos she’s saving for a holiday If she can find someone to go away with her, hmm She’s only living in a dream She knows just what it means Chasing after starlight And long ago she knew someone Now those days are gone And all that’s left are lonely nights She’s only living in a dream She knows just what it means Chasing after starlight And long ago she knew someone Now those days are gone And all that’s left are lonely nights
