well he found a sailboat and he sailed, he sailed into the sky   he parted the sky   a hundred words went by as he tried to find the moon and the stars   his dreams were coming true tonight   but as he raised up his hands   and as he dreamed, he figured it out   he cried "in the movies it's all so perfect. oh, why can't i find that for me?   it's all two-story houses and white picket-fences, the movie life is for me."      she read his note   met him at the playground   the sky was clear as he held her hand   and he proposed where they'd met seven years before   but as she held out her hand   and as she dreamed, she figured it out   she cried "in the movies it's all so perfect. oh, why can't i find that for me?   it's all two-story houses and white picket-fences, the movie life is for me."      oh, i wrote you poems of the stars and sky   i wonder why we can't go back in time   and find the promise that you dropped in the sand   sheltered by my heart   'cause as i call out your name   i am sure i figured it out this time   in the movies it's all so perfect. oh, why can't i find that for me?   it's all two-story houses and white picket-fences, the movie life is for me.   in the movies it's all so perfect. oh, why can't you find that in me?   it's all two-story houses and white picket-fences, the movie life is for me.   it's for me [x5]
