That night I woke up with this song in my head
Got out of bed
Wrote down this hit
And it went straight from my heart
Into charts
Climbed up the list
And though it was just a dream
It seemed so real
I swear I thought I was awake
Then again -
Say Helena looked a little shorter

I should have known
My story was not [bad word] As I wrote down these lines
Tell me how could I know
My dream would end so soon
As I closed my eyes

Don' t give up it' s alright
She' s the love of your life
Don' t let time pass you by
You' re doing alright
Close your eyes and you' ll see
Go and find what you need
Just hold on to your dreams
You' re doing fine

And soon my song should [bad word] # 1
An overnight sensation
On the air
Everywhere
On heavy rotation
Could this be
An evergreen
Written by the new king of pop
It payed my bills
House in the hills
Really aint that cold on the top

I should have known
My story was not [bad word] As I wrote down these lines
Tell me how could I know
My dream would end so soon
As I closed my eyes

Don' t give up it' s alright
She' s the love of your life
Don' t let time pass you by
You' re doing alright
Close your eyes and you' ll see
Go and find what you need
Just hold on to your dreams
You're doing fine
You' re doing alright
