123,223 When I was a boy Hardly more than 10 years old My family moved to a small town And I was destroyed leaving all my friends behind And if I had the choice‚ we’d’ve stayed put It’s only now I can see Sometimes a little change can be good At the end of the block The ramshackle diner stood My after school spot just to pass time Where I met a girl nearly three times my age But still she painted my world with her kind words And soft curves Just a schoolboy crush But you remind me of her She saw something in me I was lonely and misunderstood She’d ask me to write down my wildest schemes And offer slices of blueberry pie I learned to dream She’d say “What good’s a dreamer without a believer? SongtexteWe all just need someone to care One who might listen and root for our wishes Someone to simply be glad that we’re there What good’s a hand if nobody needs holding? When everything else falls away If no one believes her‚ what good’s a dreamer anyway?” Thank god for that place It practically saved me Those school kids just didn’t take kind to this stranger And I was eccentric‚ all grand plans and inventions That I would’ve just thrown away By listening she let me have something to say Oh, what good’s a dreamer without a believer? We all just need someone to care Oh, one who might listen and root for our wishes Someone to simply be glad that we’re there What good’s a hand if nobody needs holding? When everything else falls away If no one believes her‚ what good’s a dreamer anyway? Aus Songtexte Mania
