If They Could Put You in Jail for Dreaming

If They Could Put You in Jail for Dreaming

Now here is my confession
I’m the guilty one
I knew just what I was doing
and now look at what I’ve done

there isn’t any mystery
about just who’s to blame
the saddest litle crime in history
has been added to my name

CH
If They Could Put You in Jail for Dreaming…
I’d never see the streets again
I’d be lying in my cell
telling stories to myself
and dreamin’ ’bout what might have been

I stole a chance for happiness
then drove it into a ditch
I stole the secrets of hate and love
then for-got which was which

CH
If They Could Put You in Jail for Dreaming…

I know my greatest crime
is something I did not do
it’s a shame and a sin
I didn’t follow that whim
and steal away with you
