Lyrics
Johnny was always a dreamer
He wanted to be a big star
Jill was his biggest believer,
She always knew he'd go far
But Jill wasn?t sure if he made it,
She?d have a place in his life
So Johnny would take her in his arms
And say to his wife
Chorus
I love you with all my heart
Someday I hope you?ll see
I love you for who you are
And not who you think you should be
And though you may have your doubts,
Especially when we?re apart
I want you to know that I love you
With all of my heart
Johnny became a big hitter,
Climbed to the top of the list
Hanging with movers and shakers,
While Jill stayed at home with the kids
Jill wasn?t sure where she fit in,
Or she fit in at all
Johnny would try to convince her
Whenever he called
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Dreams don?t always turn out like we plan
And we have to settle for less
When Johnny?s career took a turn for the worse
Jill turned to him and she said
Repeat Chorus
