Tell me why, why it is   We all cause each other pain   Chasing after little things   That just get in the way   Sure We'd all like to be somebody   Somebody that we're not   Eventually we realize   It doesn't mean a lot   But I just keep on dreaming   You can often hear me say   I wish I was ten thousand miles away   I wish I was in Paris everyday      The loveliness of Paris   Seems to somehow sadly fade   And suddenly, you realize   It was all a masquerade   But I just keep on dreaming   You can often hear me say   I wish I was Ten thousand miles away   I wish I was in Paris everyday      The grass is always greener   Well at least we think it is   So we run around this great big world   Chasing dreams that don't exist   There's trouble in Los Angeles   People caught up in a war   As usual, nobody knows   What it is they're fighting for   So I just keep on dreaming   You can often hear me say   I wish I was ten thousand miles away   I wish I was in Paris everyday   I'm flying into Paris in the rain
