Standing by the elevator   Feeling gloomy and down   Waiting for the flashing light   To lift me up from the ground      Then the elevator opened   And I saw her standing there   She had to be a young executive   She looked so corporate and clean      And I thought I'd seen her somewhere before   On the cover of a magazine   I didn't think she'd even look at me   Or bother to glance my way   But she actually smiled at me and said   Hi ya, handsome, have a good day      I must be dreaming, if she looks at me   I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy   Now, I've got positive emotions   Buzzing 'round every molecule in me      I gotta be dreaming, is it reality   But over and over, I live that memory   Was it real or only a dream   La la la la      Was it my imagination playing tricks on me   When she looked my way   Maybe she took me for somebody else   Whatever it was, it made my day, hey hey      I wake up in the morning   Smiling with anticipation   Suddenly I feel alive   Face the world with expectation      I must be dreaming this world is a better place   Was my imagination playing tricks on me   Was it real or only a dream?   I see a great big sunset      Where only clouds used to be   Was it all an illusion, is it fantasy   If it's just a dream   It's good enough for me, yeah, yeah      Waiting by the elevator   Feeling optimistic and keen   Waiting for my executive goddess   To appear as if in a dream      Then the elevator opened   She was talking to another guy   And I tried to say, hello to her   But I failed to even catch her eye      Then everybody crowded inside   And I sadly stood my ground   Thinking life's just like that elevator   It takes you up and brings you down      I must be dreaming, if she looks at me   I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy   Now, I've got positive emotions   Buzzing 'round every molecule in me      I gotta be dreaming, is it reality   But over and over, I live that memory   Was it real or only a dream?   La la la la      Was it only an illusion   Was it real or only a dream      I must be dreaming, if she looks at me   I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy   Now, I've got positive emotions   Buzzing 'round every molecule in me      I gotta be dreaming, is it reality   But over and over, I live that memory   Was it real or only a dream   La la la la
