Dream Away - Paul Williams

Dream away child

Let your dreams run wild

Or a lifetime of worries

Might claim you

Dream away child

Let your dreams run wild

Or the years

And the tears shed

Might tame you

For the last time we have

Tasted love’s sweet tears

By the fire’s glow

If our hearts are strong

There’ll be no long

Goodbyes when it’s time to go

But the strongest hearts are sometimes broken

As the deepest vows aren’t always spoken

And the greatest wounds we hide inside ourselves where they never show

Dream away child

Let your dreams run wild

Or a lifetime of worries

Might claim you

Dream away child

Let your dreams run wild

Or the years

And the tears shed

Might tame you

When the winter weds the northern wind

The child they bear is snow

And the branches bow like worried bridesmaids

But the trees will grow

Sun and earth in time will come together

God will give us back our summer weather

But the memories of that first sweet taste of love

Pass away so slow

Can the wise men count the pointless lies we tell

Or the price we pay

And are songs a place to keep those words of love

That we couldn’t say

When there’s no room left to live inside ourselves

Do we dream away
