Oh, my life is changing everyday In every possible way And oh, my dreams It’s never quite as it seems (Never quite as it seems)
I know I felt like this before But now I’m feeling it even more Because it came from you Then I open up and see The person falling here is me A different way to be C’mon
La ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah, ah La ah ah ah
I want more, impossible to ignore Impossible to ignore (And they’ll come true) And they’ll come true Impossible not to do Impossible not to do
And now I tell you openly You have my heart, so don’t hurt me You’re what I couldn’t find A totally amazing mind So understanding and so kind You’re everything to me Sing it for me! 1, 2, 3, 4
Oh, my life is changing everyday In every possible way (I said, oh, I said oh) And oh, my dreams It’s never quite as it seems ‘Cause you’re a dream to me Dream to me
La, ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah La ah ah ah Sing on!La, ah La, ah, ah, ah La, ah, ah La ah ah ah Oh oh oh

The song is featured in the Grand Theft Auto IV expansion pack The Ballad of Gay Tony on the radio station K109.
Lyrics
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Music never lets you down Puts a smile on your face Any time, any place Dancing helps relieve the pain Soothes your mind, makes you happy again Listen to those dancing feet Close your eyes and let go But it don’t mean a thing If it ain’t got that swing Bop-shoo-wa, bop-shoo-wa, bop-shoo-wa
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Spinning all around the floor Just like Rogers and Astaire Who found love without a care Stepping to our favorite tune The good times always end too soon Everybody’s dancing Lift your feet, have some fun Come on everybody, get on your feet Clap your hands Everybody’s screaming
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands Everybody dance, do-do-do Clap your hands, clap your hands
Well I didn’t see much future When I left the Christian brothers school So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile And I left the girls of Tuam And sometimes when I’m reminiscing I see the prefabs and my old friends And I know that they’ll be changed or gone By the time I get home again
And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Well the ould fella left me to Shannon Was the last time I travelled that road and as I turned left at Claregalway I could feel a lump in my throat As I pictured the thousands of times That I travelled that well worn track And I know that things would be different If I ever decide to go back
And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Now as I tumble down highways Or filthy overcrowded trains There’s no one to talk to in transit So I sit there and daydream in vain And behind all these muddled up problems Of living on a foreign soil I can still see the twists and turns on the road From the square to the town of the tribes
And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
