From his 1989 Album "Mystery Girl"

In dreams we do so many things
We set aside the rules we know
And fly the world so high
In great and shining rings

If only we could always live in dreams
If only we could make of life
What, in dreams, it seems

But in the real world
We must say our goodbyes
No matter if the love will live
It will never die

In the real world
There are things that we cant change
And endings come to us
In ways that we cant rearrange

I love you, and you love me
But sometimes we must let it be
In the real world
In the real world

When we were dreaming heart to heart
I wish that we had stayed right there
For when the dreamers do awake
The dreams do disappear

In the real world
There are things that we cant change
And endings come to us
In ways that we cant rearrange

I love you, and you love me
But sometimes we must let it be
In the real world
In the real world

  • This song, even re-recorded and updated, could never be a hit on radio today. It speaks truth about relationships that nobody seems to want to hear in the age of the "Bad Romance."

    Roy always had a way with bittersweet truth. He sang the most beautiful, heartrending songs, and he sang them more beautifully than most mortals dare to dream.

    I dearly wish so many of his best years had not been lost in obscurity---and that we had not lost him so soon. He's a true Forever Legend.

  • Very great song by this great singer...:o)

  • I think your lyrics are iffy at best. No offense. If you listen closely to what he's saying you'll notice some discrepancies with what you wrote.

  • THE MASTER of all that is heartache and longing! As long as hearts break and people fall in love people will discover Roy Orbison!!

  • Roy Orbison é gênio...a melancolia transborda nessa canção...impossível ficar indiferente...

  • @strangecastings you meen the end of this wicked system of things and the beginning of the new system- paradise

  • beautiful song..by the Greatest singer ever

  • Roy Orbison is the best singer of all time.Beautiful voice....I miss him.

  • @bessomj89 umad bro?

  • Roy sang some of my favourite songs ever. This of course plus Crying, It's Over and Only the Lonely. These songs show of his greatest talent, the ability to make you feel. Everyone of his songs were thought evoking, he made you feel as if he was singing from personal experience.

  • from the 50's to the 80's. excellence.
