Intro verse When I was a boy I had a dream, All about the things I'd like to be, Soon as I was in my bed, music played in - side my head, When I was a boy ...I had a dream! verse When I was a boy I learnt to play, Far into the night and drift a - way, Don't wanna work on the milk or the bread, * Just wanna play my gui - tar instead-----, When I was a boy ...I had a dream! And ra ---dio waves ...kept me com - pan - y, In ...those ...beau - tiful days, when there was no money, When I was a boy----- ...I had a dream! verse When I was a boy I had a dream, Finding out what life could really mean, Don't want a job, 'cause it drives me crazy, * Just wanna sing, 'Do you love me, baby?' When I was a boy ...I had a dream! And ra ---dio waves ...kept me com - pan - y, In ...those ...beau - tiful days, when there was no money, When I was a boy----- ...I had a dream!
