AMANDA’S DREAMS

© 2003, words by Timothy D Brown (BMI)

V1>

There’s a diner on the corner of Roosevelt and Main

At the counter stands a waitress watching the pouring rain

She watches the neon colors streaming down the Window Pane

Then gives a soft and gentle sigh: Amanda is her name

Chorus>

Amanda’s dreams are bigger than the life Amanda leads

The world is blind to all the things she could someday be

Amanda leads a secret life at least that’s how it seems

I wish that I could look inside and see Amanda’s dreams

V2>

It’s three o’clock in the morning but it doesn’t seem that late

There’s American Pie on the jukebox and peach pie on my plate

I’ve got a cup of coffee some sugar and some cream

The only thing I really want is to be in Amanda’s dreams

<Repeat Chorus>

Bridge>

I wonder if she ever dreams of sailing on the sea

Does she dream of a happy home and a loving family

Does she dream of rainbows in a blue sky up above

I wonder if she dreams of finding love….

V3>

She’s in her early twenty’s ‘though it’s kind of hard to tell

Behind the smile and sparkling eyes she’s seen her share of Hell

If I could take her away from here things would never be the same

She doesn’t know that I exist doesn’t even know my name

<Key change, Repeat Chorus>

I wish that I could look inside and see Amanda’s dreams
