The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of Songtext
von Carly Simon

Take a look around now .
Change the direction
Adjust the tuning
Try a new translation
Don′t look at your man in the same old way
Take a new picture
Just because you don't see shooting stars
Doesn′t mean it isn't perfect
Can't you see

It′s the stuff that dreams are made of
It′s the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It′s your heart and soul's desire
It′s the stuff that dreams are made of


So what's this about your best friend?
She′s got a brand new shiny boy
And they're moving out to Malibu
To play with all his pretty toys
And you feel closed in by the same four walls
The same old conversation
With the same old guy you've know for years
But use your imagination
And you will see

It′s the stuff that dreams are made of
It′s the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It′s your heart and soul's desire
It′s the stuff that dreams are made of

What if the Prince on the horse in your fairytale
Is right here in disguise
And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for
Are shining in his eyes

Don′t look at yourself in the same old way
Take another picture
Shoot the stars off in your own backyard
Don't look any further
And you will see
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It′s the slow and steady fire
It′s the stuff that dreams are made of
It's your heart and soul′s desire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
