At the risk of sounding like Britney Murphy in Little Black Book, the lyrics to Carly Simon songs often ring very true.

The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of…
by Carly Simon
Take a look around now.
Change the direction.
Adjust the tuning.
Try a new translation.
Don’t look at your man in the same old way.
Take a new picture.
Just because you don’t see shooting stars,
Doesn’t mean it isn’t perfect.

Can’t you see…

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of.
It’s the slow and steady fire.
It’s the stuff that dreams are made of.
It’s your heart and souls desire.

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of.

So what’s this about your best friend?
She’s got a brand new shiny boy.
And they’re moving out to Malibu,
To play with all his pretty toys.

And you feel closed in by the same four walls.
The same old conversation,
With the same old guy you’ve know for years.
But use your imagination,

And you will see….

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of.
It’s the slow and steady fire.
It’s the stuff that dreams are made of.
It’s your heart and soul’s desire.

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of.

What if the prince on the horse in your fairytale
Is right here in disguise?
And what if the stars you’ve been reaching so high for
Are shining in his eyes?

Don’t look at yourself in the same old way.
Take another picture.
Shoot the stars off in your own backyard.
Don’t look any further

And you will see…

It’s the stuff that dreams are made of.
