[Verse 1]
To have any man but to love only one
To wake with the moon and sleep with the sun
To be a sinner, a saint, a lover and friend
To know a beginning but never an end
To fly in the ocean, swim in the skys
Believer in truth, defendant of lies
To know the purest love, the deepest pain
To be lost and found again and again and again

[Chorus]
These are the dreams
Of an impossible princess
These are the dreams
Of an impossible princess

[Verse 2]
To know the power of wealth and poverty
To taste every moment and try everything
To be hailed as a hero, branded a fool
Believe in the sacred and break every rule
To give in to pleasure with no boundaries
Living in chaos and harmony
To feel the touch of a man, a woman's caress
To know the limits of torture and tenderness

[Chorus]
These are the dreams
Of an impossible princess (of an impossible princess)
These are the dreams
Of an impossible princess

[Bridge]
Man and woman, boy and girl
They want to escape this world
Man and woman, boy and girl
They want to escape this world
(Nothing is what it seems, living in a dream)

[Chorus]
(These are the dreams)
Of an impossible princess
(These are the dreams)
Of an impossible princess

[Outro]
It's a way of dealing with all the feeling
Keep believing in dreams
(Of an impossible princess)
It's a way of dealing with all the feeling
Keep believing in dreams
(Of an impossible princess)

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
