Cliff Richard And The Shadows - Real As I Wanna Be Lyrics

Well here I am out in my make believe world
Makin' believe I'm working
Makin' believe I've got a girl
But inside I know
I'm as real as I wanna be
What if I sailed off to the edges of the sea
Just to see the other side
Just to feel free
And to prove to myself
I'm as real as I wanna be

And even the sky
The sky can't stop me now
Even the sky
The sky can't stop me now

From now on I'm out on the wrong side of the track
Takin' a long look back
And no one can catch me
I'm as real as I wanna be
I'm packing nothing but that which belongs to me
My heart and soul
And the pieces of a dream
I'm gonna make that dream
As real as I wanna be

And even the sky
The sky can't stop me now
Even the sky
The sky can't stop me now
Cause I'm real

And what if I find hate or despair
Oh lord, what if I find nothing there
How could I last
When all that stands beside me
Is the shadow that I cast
And I may come to see the only thing that was true
was you
Long ago back in this mystery
And I may wish that I could reach back in to pull you
through
But you'll live on in my memory
In a tear that I will leave behind me
Cause I'm as real as I wanna be
