cliff richard and the shadows
real as i wanna be
Well here I am out in my make believe world Makin' believe I'm working Makin' believe I've got a girl But inside I know I'm as real as I wanna be What if I sailed off to the edges of the sea Just to see the other side Just to feel free And to prove to myself I'm as real as I wanna be And even the sky The sky can't stop me now Even the sky The sky can't stop me now From now on I'm out on the wrong side of the track Takin' a long look back And no one can catch me I'm as real as I wanna be I'm packing nothing but that which belongs to me My heart and soul And the pieces of a dream I'm gonna make that dream As real as I wanna be And even the sky The sky can't stop me now Even the sky The sky can't stop me now Cause I'm real And what if I find hate or despair Oh lord, what if I find nothing there How could I last When all that stands beside me Is the shadow that I cast And I may come to see the only thing that was true was you Long ago back in this mystery And I may wish that I could reach back in to pull you through But you'll live on in my memory In a tear that I will leave behind me Cause I'm as real as I wanna be Taken from "Real As I wanna be"-album leaflet by Sunny
