Silly Things

Silly things, like diamond rings
Fall between other things like you and I
We used to have, a coffee pot, we used it a lot
To sit around and talk about everything
We always want, but we'll never get

But a dreamer is still a dreamer until you wake them up
And sit them down and explain to them
The sky is up and the earth is down amoungst other things
Like human beings, they really aren't what they seem
They will lie cheat and steal to get ahead of you

And I'm afraid it's true
When the world comes crashing down, what are they to do?
I'm not blaming you, for being naive
But now just close your eyes and start dreaming (dreaming)
Dreaming (dreaming) about candle light

Forget about stupid fights
And it's funny to me
I can't remember a single thing that we fought about
Now that I'm alone, I guess that's how it goes

But I do remember every time that you kissed my neck
Ooh I love that the best
Won't be getting none of those
Now that you're in L.A. queen and away from me
(now that I'm in L.A. queen and away from you)

But darling, remember please
That people lie and cheat and steel to get ahead of you
I'm afraid it's true
When the world comes crashing down what are they to do
And I'm not blaming you for being naive
But now just close your eyes and start dreaming (dreaming)
Dreaming (dreaming)

Darling come get you coffee pot
Cause it hasn't been used
Since I last used you
