Times Are Hard For Dreamers - Piano Accompaniment

[@amberbrogatzki8580]

They say times are hard for dreamers But they are not hard for me I've saved up everything I know To take that step beyond the lawn Keep walking till I see the station And then see it go Inside the train, up through the glass My finger tracing All of these towns I've never heard of racing past Off the train in Paris, half a mile from Sacré-Cœur The city's waking up for me! A sign says an apartment's vacant on the second floor! And suddenly I hold a key I turn a lock, the rooms appear And all it takes is one more step and then I'm here! Just me behind my door! It isn't what I have it's only what I have in store That matters now, the past can only fade! And everything I'll ever need is here This is how my world gets made They say times are hard for dreamers And who knows, maybe they are People seem stuck, or lost at sea! And I might be a dreamer But it's gotten me this far And that is far enough for me Look out my window there's a view, of other windows My own museum full of paintings I look through! Where everything is clear! It isn't where I am it's only where I'll go from here That matters now And I am not afraid! As everything I'll ever need appears This is how my world gets made

Lyrics for the West End version: They say times are hard for dreamers But they won't be hard for me When all my dreams have gone as planned And I can see who's falling down And though they do not see me I am reaching out my hand Inside the train Out through the glass My finger tracing I see myself in every face that's racing past On the train in Paris Half a mile from Sacré-Cœur The city's waking up for me And I can see what each of them has lost or locked inside And suddenly I hold the key I turn the lock and disappear And all it takes is one more step and then I'm hеre Just me behind thе door It isn't what I have It's only what I have in store That matters now The past can only fade As everything I'll ever need is here This is how my world gets made They say times are hard for dreamers And who knows? Maybe they are People seem stuck or lost at sea And I might be a dreamer but it's gotten me this far And that is far enough for me Look out my window There's a view Of other windows My own museum full of paintings I look through Where everything is clear It isn't where I am It's only where I'll go from here What matters now As I am not afraid As everything I'll ever need appears This is how my world gets Made

Man sagt träume nicht dein Leben lieber deinen Traum Und Träume hab ich viel zu viel Als Kind allein auf mich gestellt Geflohen in meine eigne Welt Doch nun hab ich ein Ziel Ich nehm den Zug um kurz nach drei Am Fenster fliegen Die Orte namenlos und stumm An mir vorbei Ankunft in Paris und dann Hinauf zur Sache Coburg Montmartre macht sich für mich fein Ein Schild sagt: Apartment zu mieten Mit Interieur Es soll so sein, da zieh ich ein Ich dreh den Knauf und schau hinein Ein letzter Schritt und ich bin Immer noch allein Mit mir und dieser Tür Wie find ich was mir fehlt Wenn ich mich weiter isolier? Es wird nur stark Wer sich dem Leben stellt Ja einmal kommt der Tag an dem ich’s wag Und dann stell ich mich der Welt Man sagt träume nicht dein Leben Doch ein Mensch der fühlt wie ich Dem fällt das leider nicht so leicht Der bleibt vielleicht ein Träumer In der Welt allein mit sich Weil er die Leute nie erreicht Ich schau zum Fenster raus und she Nur andre Fenster Ne Galerie aus Bildern Die ich nicht versteh Wohin geh ich von hier? Ich werde es erst sehn Wenn ich es irgendwann riskier Es wird nur stark Wer sich dem Leben stellt Ja einmal kommt der Tag And dem ich’s wag Und dann stell ich mich der Welt
