(Carly Simon)
Take a look around now
Change the direction

Adjust the tuning
Try a new translation
Don't look at your man in the same old way

Take a new picture
Just because you don't see shooting stars
Doesn't mean it isn't perfect

Can't you see...

It's the stuff that dreams are made of

It's the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's your heart and soul's desire

It's the stuff that dreams are made of

So what's this about your best friend?

She's got a brand new shiny boy
And they're moving out to Malibu
To play with all his pretty toys

And you feel closed in by the same four walls
The same old conversation
With the same old guy you've know for years

But use your imagination
And you will see....


It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of

It's your heart and soul's desire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of


What if the Prince on the horse in your fairytale
Is right here in disguise
And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for

Are shining in his eyes

Don't look at yourself in the same old way

Take another picture
Shoot the stars off in your own backyard
Don't look any further

And you will see
It's the stuff that dreams are made of....
