Beautiful Dreams Beautiful dreams are made developed and crushed Your delightful endeavours, silenced and hushed The hot sun burns, the rain pours all night Heart break happens like a blinding light Memories, hopes, ideas and golden dreams Grow in the dirt from impossible magic beans Tears, sweat, and blood are painfully shed And your dreams
