When I was a boy Hardly more than 10 years old My family moved to a small town And I was destroyed leaving all my friends behind And if I had the choice we'd have stayed put It's only now I can see Sometimes a little change can be good At the end of the block The ramshackle diner stood My after school spot just to pass time Where I met a girl nearly three times my age Aut still she painted my world with her kind words And soft curls Just a schoolboy crush But you remind me of her She saw something in me I was lonely and misunderstood She'd ask me to write down my wildest schemes And over slices of blueberry pie I learned to dream She'd say what good's a dreamer without a believer? We all just need someone to care One who might listen and root for our wishes Someone to simply be glad that we're there What good's a hand if nobody needs holding? When everything else falls away If no one believes her what good's a dreamer anyway? Thank god for that place It practically saved me Those school kids sure didn't take kind to this stranger And I was eccentric all grand plans and inventions That I would've just thrown away By listening she let me have something to say Oh, What good's a dreamer without a believer? We all just need someone to care One who might listen and root for our wishes Someone to simply be glad that we're there What good's a hand if nobody needs holding? When everything else falls away If no one believes her what good's a dreamer anyway?
