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.
