1
Standing by the elevator
2
Feeling gloomy and down
3
Waiting for the flashing light
4
To lift me up from the ground
5
Then the elevator opened
6
And I saw her standing there
7
She had to be a young executive
8
She looked so corporate and clean
9
And I thought I'd seen her somewhere before
10
On the cover of a magazine
11
I didn't think she'd even look at me
12
Or bother to glance my way
13
But she actually smiled at me and said
14
Hi-ya handsome, have a good day
15
[Chorus]
16
I must be dreaming if she looks at me
17
I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy
18
Now I've got positive emotions
19
Buzzing 'round every molecule in me
20
I gotta be dreaming, is it reality
21
But over and over I live that memory
22
Was it real or only a dream
23
La la la la
24
Was it my imagination playing tricks on me
25
When she looked my way
26
Maybe she took me for somebody else
27
Whatever it was, it made my day, hey hey
28
I wake up in the morning
29
Smiling with anticipation
30
Suddenly I feel alive
31
Face the world with expectation
32
I must be dreaming this world is a better place
33
Was my imagination playing tricks on me
34
Was it real or only a dream?
35
I see a great big sunset
36
Where only clouds used to be
37
Was it all an illusion, is it fantasy
38
If it's just a dream
39
It's good enough for me, yeah yeah
40
Waiting by the elevator
41
Feeling optimistic and keen
42
Waiting for my executive goddess
43
To appear as if in a dream
44
Then the elevator opened
45
She was talking to another guy
46
And I tried to say hello to her
47
But I failed to even catch her eye
48
Then everybody crowded inside
49
And I sadly stood my ground
50
Thinking life's just like that elevator
51
It takes you up and brings you down
52
[Chorus]
53
Was it only an illusion
54
Was it real or only a dream
55
[Chorus]
