Intro : (x4)
I p icture us together
Fr amed in gold leaf
On the m antle with the others
One big h appy fami ly
But that sn apshot can't be found
And I don't tr ust my memo ry
But it's alr ight, it's al right
For a dr eam
I im agine we are gathered
But this t ime not dressed in b lack
There's l aughing and smiling
Not st abbing in the back
But it's t oo good to be true
And too b ad I still recall the sc reams
But it's alr ight, it's al right
For a dr eam
I keep half the picture
Mostly in my mind
Mama dressed in white
Ripped wh en she held your hand
Show ing no signs of age
Just slightly fr ayed along the seam
But it's alr ight, it's al right
For a dr eam
It's alr ight
All that I can claim
It's alr ight
And it will have to do
It's alr ight
Better than the pain
It's alr ight
Better than the truth
It's alr ight
Alright for a dream
It's alr ight
Better than fate and the great scheme
It's alr ight
It's alr ight
For Chr istmas and for New Year
I w ish and I re solve
But I'm d isappointed by myself
Jes us and Santa C laus
I w ant to believe
She's been s aved and he's been re deemed
And it's alr ight, it's al right
For a dr eam
