There was a time some time ago

When every sunrise meant a sunny day,

{oh a sunny day}

But now when the morning light shines in

It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay,

{oh where I lay}

I used to thank the Lord when I'd wake

For life and love and the golden sky above me

But now I pray the stars will go on shinin',

you see in my dreams you love me

Daybreak is a joyful time

Just listen to the songbird harmonies,

{oh the harmonies}

But I wish the dawn would never come

I wish there was silence in the trees,

{oh the trees}

If only I could stay asleep, at least I could pretend

you're thinkin' of me

'Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy,

you see in my dreams you love me

* * *

We climb and climb and at the top we fly

Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time

And I don't know really what it means

All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

* * *

I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken, and

somehow she'll be lying by my side

And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'

She touches me and suddenly I'm alive
