I wanna make a billion dollars
Take Bill Gates out to lunch
Fly out to Las Vegas
Bet it all on just a hunch
Leave my footprint on the moon
Tavern on the green, just for two
Take a yacht to the South Seas
Drop in a penny if I please

All of these things I wanna do
I'd give them all up to be with you
But I might as well swim the artic sea
Then get you to notice me

Why do I try to be part of her world?
Why do I think I can get this girl?
Everybody has to have some kind of thing
An impossible dream
An impossible

Just give me a little time
We won't have to compromise
You may not get diamond rings
But I'll give you riches in different things
The Eiffel tower beneath the stars
The pyramids they would be ours
The Seven Wonders of the World
Would fail to compare if you were my girl

All of these things they would come true
If somehow I could end up with you
But every time I start to get the nerve
I am at a loss for words

Why do I try to be part of her world?
Why do I think I can get this girl?
Everybody's got to have some kind of thing
An impossible dream
An impossible

If I had just one day with you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd say I love you backwards
If you asked me to
Then you would see that all along
That I was meant to be the one

Why do I try to be part of her world?
Why do I think I can get this girl?
Everybody's got to have some kind of thing
An impossible dream
An impossible

Why (wanna make a billion dollars, take Bill Gates out to lunch)
Why (leave my footprint on the moon, bet it all on just a hunch)
Everybody's got to have some kind of thing
An impossible dream
An impossible dream
