As we eye the blue horizon's bend, Earth and sky appear to meet and end. But it's merely an illusion. Like your heart and mine, There is no sweet conclusion I can see, No matter how near you'll be, You'll never belong to me. But I can dream Can't I? Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace? For dreams are just like wine, And I am drunk with mine I'm aware my heart is a sad affair. There's much disillusion there, But I can dream, Can't I Can't I adore you although we are oceans apart? I can't make you open your heart, But I can dream Can't I
In the notes to the Carpenters: The Compact Disc Collection, Richard Carpenter wrote:
I am particularly fond of I Can Dream Can't I which features a beautiful arrangement by veteran Billy May, done in authentic 40's style.
