Pocketful of Dreams lyrics

Vanities are only charity

And she makes donations at the Tiffany’s

Life is hard without a credit card to get by, get by

She sold her dreams for security

To a man that now she hardly ever sees

With a cold Martini in her hand, she don’t mind, don’t mind

So throw all your luxuries aside

You can’t take them with you when you die

Still when I look into your eyes

They're full of dollar signs

Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams

Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams

Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail

You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh

If you desire a plastic happiness

Then climb the social ladder to the top, my friend

And don’t forget to thank the piggy bank in the sky, so high

So throw all your luxuries aside

You can’t take them with you when you die

Still when I look into your eyes

They're full of dollar signs

Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams

Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams

Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail

You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh

Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams

Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams

Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail

You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh

Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams

Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams

Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail

You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh

Oh, reach into a pocketful of dreams

Oh, now, before they fall out of the seams

Oh, take a chance, don’t matter if you fail

You’re too scared to try ‘cause you might break a nail, oh
