American Dream

music & lyrics by Sherman Tabor

Oh, there's something in the air tonight

Think I want to kiss you outside the bar

You've been staying in my head and I

Think we're gonna take this way too far

Your island calls to me through stormy seas

And I'm dyin' to make it to your green light

New York City danced for me that Summer

Like she didn't see you were my new skyline

Now I pledge allegiance to your wild mystery

And you'll believe it when you see the way I move my feet

Dancing to your motown beat, I'm singing in the streets

"Baby, you're my city"

You're my American dream

Your eyes light possibility

And you show me what loving really means

It's for everyone and it's always free

Your my American dream, my American dream

My American dream, my American dream

I remember when I pulled you to my side

Sitting in the stairwell under phosphorescent apartment lights

I said you'd be smart to run away now

But if you look back I'll be right behind you

Oh, there's something in the air tonight

Think I want to kiss you outside the bar

You've been staying in my head and I

Think we're gonna take this way too far

You're my American dream

Your eyes light possibility

And you show me what loving really means

It's for everyone and it's always free

Your my American dream, my American dream

My American dream, my American dream

Will you be my best friend?

Sit in the garden 'til it's late in the evening

Sparks flying overhead

Will you be my president?

Tell me the state of us?

Ice cream dripping

Can I touch your face again?

Will you be my best friend?

Sit in the garden 'til it's late in the evening

Sparks flying overhead

Will you be my president?

Tell me the state of us?

Ice cream dripping

Can I touch your face again?

Baby, can I kiss your face again?

You're my American dream

Your eyes light possibility

And you show me what loving really means

It's for everyone and it's always free

Your my American dream, my American dream

My American dream, my American dream
