Paul Williams
Faust
[Verse 1]
I was not myself last night
Couldn't set things right with apologies or flowers
Out of place as a crying clown
Who could only frown and the play went on for hours
And as I lived my role

[Chorus]
I swore I'd sell my soul for one love who would stand by me
And give me back the gift of laughter
One love who would stand by me
And after making love we'd dream a bitter style
Dream a bunch of friends
Dream each other's smile
Dream it never ends

[Verse 2]
I was not myself last night
In the morning light, I could see the change was showin'
Like a child who was always four
Reaching out for more I could feel the hunger growing
And as I lost control

[Chorus]
I swore I'd sell my soul for one love who would sing my song
And feel this emptiness inside me
One love who would sing my song
And lay beside me while we'd dream a bitter style
Dream a bunch of friends
Dream each other's smiles
Dream it never ends
[Bridge]
All my dreams are lost and I can't sleep
And sleep alone could ease my mind
All my tears have dried and I can't weep
Old emotions may they rest in peace
And dream, dream a bunch of friends
Rest in peace, and dream, dream it never ends
