Lyrics

I've got a fortune

I possess a wealth or abundance.

A fortune in dreams

This wealth consists of dreams or aspirations.

That's how I measure

The measure of my wealth is through these dreams.

My treasure of schemes

These dreams are my valuable plans or ideas.


I'm never poor

Even in material poverty, I am rich in imagination.

If I can pretend

I am content as long as I can pretend or imagine.

I wouldn't take a million

I wouldn't trade my dreams for a large sum of money.

For the dreams that I spend

I value the time and thoughts spent on my dreams immensely.


With only daydreams to keep me at night

My nights are filled with daydreams, providing comfort.

I get along and I'm doin' alright

Despite challenges, I manage and am doing well.


I haven't got a bankful

I may lack financial wealth, but I am grateful.

But I'm thankful to say

My wealth is stored in the form of dreams.

I've got a fortune in dreams put away

I have a substantial reserve of dreams.

I've got a fortune in dreams

Reiteration of having a wealth of dreams.


I've got a fortune

A repetition emphasizing the abundance of dreams.

A fortune in dreams

This abundance is composed of dreams.

That's how I measure

The measurement of wealth is still through dreams.

My treasure of schemes

Reiteration of dreams as valuable schemes.


I'm never poor

Even in a figurative sense, I am never poor.

Not if I can pretend

I can maintain a sense of richness through imagination.

And I wouldn't take a million

Reaffirmation that dreams are invaluable.

For the dreams that I spend

Repeating the sentiment of the high value of dreams.


With only daydreams to keep me at night

Nights are comforted by daydreams.

I get along and I'm doin' alright

I manage well despite relying on daydreams.


I've leaned to love the

Learning to appreciate non-materialistic aspects of life.

Things in life that money can't buy

Valuing things beyond monetary wealth.

That's why I see the sun

Choosing to see the positive (sun) rather than the negative (clouds).

And not the clouds up in the sky

Optimistic outlook on life.


I haven't got a bankful

Emphasis on not having financial abundance.

But I'm thankful to say

Despite this, the speaker is grateful for their dream wealth.

I've got a fortune in dreams put away

Reiteration of having a reserve of dreams.

I've got a fortune in dreams!

Final affirmation of the speaker's wealth in dreams.
