[Verse 1]
I'd take it on the chin if the dream hadn't died
Could take the weight of my head
Take it in stride
Take it like a man if I still had some fight
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
 
[Chorus]
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
 
[Verse 2]
And I could say that this just happens to everyone
And I'd believe it if it wasn't for the fact that I'm
The only one
And the sun's setting on me
It's like the world has gone and left me to the night
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
 

[Chorus]
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Verse 3]
I'd stop countin' my failures
Just learn to forgive
I could let go of some things
Lord
I could forget
Wouldn't matter at all if I just hadn't tried
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
 
 [Chorus]
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Verse 4]
And when I look around and I see that it ain't there
That good ol' faith
Just feelin' up in the air
It's all good
I know
It's just not what I had in mind
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Final Chorus]
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

If The Dream Hadn't Died (feat. Nostalgia Boy)

Old Fashioned… Sidecar… Negroni…
Whiskey Sour, Daiquiri, Bellini.
Tom Collins, Dark ’n’ Stormy,
Margarita, Mojito, Martini.

You’re drinkin’ in the afternoon,
Curtains closed, that quiet room.
Sweet vermouth and a kiss of doom —
Yeah, you’re drinkin’ in the afternoon.
The neighbors wave, but they don’t see,
That glass is just your rosary.
Still drinkin’ in the afternoon.

Aperol Spritz, Manhattan,
Boulevardier, Whiskey Smash.
Corpse Reviver, Caipirinha,
Singapore Sling — a Pimm’s Cup flash.

You’re drinkin’ in the afternoon,
Lipstick red and designer perfume.
Sweet vermouth, your lace cocoon —
You’re drinkin’ in the afternoon.
The neighbors talk, their faces turn,
Your world is on fire, let it burn.
Still drinkin’ in the afternoon.

Vesper, Brandy Alexander,
Ramos Fizz, Rusty Nail.
Mai Tai dreams and a tequila kiss —
Love's a ship that didn't sail.
White Lady, Black Russian,
Painkiller, French Connection.
Gin Rickey, Stinger, Godfather —
Love lost in that reflection.

And his world is beautiful,
But you can’t say the same.
Your pearls are heavy,
You disappear in his name.
Why do you toast —
He don’t love you.
Why raise a glass,
When he is not true.

Drinkin’ in the afternoon,
The world moves on, your heart in ruin.
You light that smoke and hum that tune,
For every dream that left too soon.

Pour another, pour it slow…
If you could, you know you’d go…
Drinkin’ in the afternoon...
You’re still drinkin’, still drinkin’...
Still drinkin’ in the afternoon...
