Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been loving you a long time

Down all the years, down all the days

And I've cried for all your troubles

Smiled at your funny little ways

We watched our friends grow up together

And we saw them as they fell

Some of them fell into Heaven

Some of them fell into Hell

[Verse 2]

Well I took shelter from a shower

And I fell into your arms

On a rainy night in Soho

The wind was whistling all its charms

I sang you all my sorrows

And you told me all your joys

Whatever happened to that old song?

To all those little girls and boys?

Those little girls and boys

[Verse 3]

Sometimes I wake up in the morning

The ginger lady by my bed

Covered in a cloak of silence

I hear you talking in my head

But I'm not singing for the future

And I'm not dreaming of the past

I'm not talking about the first time

I never dream about the last

[Verse 4]

And now, the song is nearly over

We may never find out what it means

Still there's a light I hold before me

You're the measure of my dreams

You're the measure of my dreams

[Verse 5]

The measure of my dreams

You're the measure of my dreams

Dreams
