[Verse 1]
Clearing skies and drying eyes
Now I see your smile
Darkness goes and softness shows
A changing style
Just in time words that rhyme
Well bless your soul
Now I'll fill your hands
With kisses and a Tootsie Roll
[Chorus]
Oh reality, it's not for me
And it makes me laugh
Oh, fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
[Verse 2]
Patti Page and summer days
On old Cape Cod
Happy times making wine
In my garage
Country shade and lemonade
Guess I'm slowing down
It's a turned back world
With a local girl
In a smaller town
[Chorus]
Open cars and clearer stars
That's what I've lacked, oh
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
[Bridge]
(Love) Hi Rick and Dave
Hi Pop, good morning, mom
(Love) Get up guess what
I'm in love with a girl I found
She's really swell
'Cause she likes
Church, bingo chances
And old-time dances
[Verse 3]
All my life I spent the night
With dreams of you
And the warmth I missed
And for the things I wished
They're all coming true
I've got my love to give
And a place to live
Guess I'm going to stay
It'd be a peaceful life
With a forever wife
And a kid someday
[Chorus]
Well, it's earlier nights
And pillow fights
And your soft laugh, oh
Fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
Clearing skies and drying eyes
Now I see your smile
Darkness goes and softness shows
A changing style
Just in time words that rhyme
Well bless your soul
Now I'll fill your hands
With kisses and a Tootsie Roll
[Chorus]
Oh reality, it's not for me
And it makes me laugh
Oh, fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
[Verse 2]
Patti Page and summer days
