Only A Dream Lyrics - Kinks

Standing by the elevator 

Feeling gloomy and down 

Waiting for the flashing light 

To lift me up from the ground 

Then the elevator opened 

And I saw her standing there 

She had to be a young executive 

She looked so corporate and clean 

And I thought I'd seen her somewhere before 

On the cover of a magazine 

I didn't think she'd even look at me 

Or bother to glance my way 

But she actually smiled at me and said 

Hi-ya handsome, have a good day

Chorus: 

I must be dreaming if she looks at me 

I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy 

Now I've got positive emotions 

Buzzing 'round every molecule in me 

I gotta be dreaming, is it reality 

But over and over I live that memory 

Was it real or only a dream 

La la la la 

Was it my imagination playing tricks on me 

When she looked my way 

Maybe she took me for somebody else 

Whatever it was, it made my day, hey hey 

Photos 

I wake up in the morning 

Smiling with anticipation 

Suddenly I feel alive 

Face the world with expectation 

I must be dreaming this world is a better place 

Was my imagination playing tricks on me 

Was it real or only a dream? 

I see a great big sunset 

Where only clouds used to be 

Was it all an illusion, is it fantasy 

If it's just a dream 

It's good enough for me, yeah yeah 

Waiting by the elevator 

Feeling optimistic and keen 

Waiting for my executive goddess 

to appear as if in a dream 

Then the elevator opened 

She was talking to another guy 

And I tried to say hello to her 

But I failed to even catch her eye 

Then everybody crowded inside 

And I sadly stood my ground 

Thinking life's just like that elevator 

It takes you up and brings you down 

Chorus 

Was it only an illusion 

Was it real or only a dream
