Lyrics

And a bus comes in on the Hollywood freeway in the dark
A face catches sight of home
Though at this spirited town
Such a beating of the heart
And a hope deep down inside
They say the streets are paved with gold
But it sure looks kind of cold outside
Stepping on the sidewalk
With the stars beneath her feet
Just a handful of tourists
Is all she's bound to meet
So tough to find a room
And it takes more than a day
And it's not too nice
And the price is high
Somehow she can't help but cry

In a world full of fantasies
Reality can hurt
It's about the fiction
The odds won't go with her on
Dream street
Dream street
Will it all come true?
Will it all just fade away?
Dream street
Dream street
Well, it's hard to find and
It won't let hope escape from dream street

A year goes by And the situation she can't stand
Came to be an actress, but a waitress is all she lands
Her colleague smiles at her
Through the wrinkles of her face
She came here too with the self-same goals
She never got out of this place
She makes her mind up
She's gonna leave that very night
It's been so long now since she's felt that good inside
She calls the service line
There's a message in there for her
She's gotta star in a movie part
Suddenly it's all worthwhile

Oh
A little bit closer now
But really still too far
Is it always out of reach
That bright and shiny star of
Dream street
Dream street
Will it all come true?
Will it all just fade away?
Dream street
Dream street
Well, it's hard to find
And it won't let hope escape from dream street

Dream street
Dream street
Will it all come true?
Will it all just fade away?
Dream street
Dream street
Will it all come true?
Will it all just fade away?
Dream street
Dream street
Well, it's hard to find
And it won't let hope escape from dream street
Dream street
Dream street
Will it all come true?
Will it all just fade away?
Dream street
Dream street
