Dream Away

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 claim 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 good-byes when it's time to go But the strongest torch is 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 claim 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 mem'ries of that first sweet Taste of love pass away so slow 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 claim you When there's no room left to live inside ourselves Do we dream away
