I guess I’ll always a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away
A romantic fool, that’s what I am
I think about you, all day long
Though it’s impossible, for us together
Oh it’s not real, a love I can’t feel

Guess I’ll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away
I just can’t wait, till I go to sleep
I’ll be with you, all night long
Circumstances held me in a terrible face
It’s fantasy, I just like to share these moments together

Guess I’ll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away
And nothing comes but sleep, to a dreamer
And when you wake up the dream is gone away

Guess I’ll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away
Guess I’ll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Dreamer by The Jacksons. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Dreamer" means the words set to the music of Dreamer, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Jacksons. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
