Lyrics: 
Hugh McCracken: Acoustic Guitar Richard Tee: Organ Ralph MacDonald: Percussion Phoebe Snow, Lani Groves, Gwen Guthrie, Patti Austin: Background Vocals While in these days of quiet desperation As I wander through the world in which I live I search everywhere for some new inspiration But it’s more than cold reality can give If I need a cause for celebration Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind I rely on my imagination And I dream of an imaginary time *I know that everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream And this is my dream, my own Just to be at home And to be all alone…with you If I believe in all the words I’m saying And if a word from you can bring a better day Then all I have are these games that I’ve been playing To keep my hope from crumbling away So let me lie and let me go on sleeping And I will lose myself in palaces of sand And all the fantasies that I have been keeping Will make the empty hours easier to stand *I know that everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream And this is my dream, my own Just to be at home And to be all alone…with you
