Dreams Long Forgotten

Lyrics   © Dan Edelstein 2012



Cloudy nights in Minnesota,
The rain taps a tune light and warm,
Lay upon the moss and let your mind run easy,
Away through a magical door,
Remember … dreams long forgotten … hold on tight … remember …



Ride upon a snow-white stallion,
Kansas City cattle drive,
Crystal moons and wood saloons and silver dollars,
Await me if I make it alive,
Remember … dreams long forgotten … hold on tight … remember …

Well, I’ve been thinkin’, and a-dreamin’,
All of my life … all of my life … all of my life …

Hey, you!  Got some dreams you want to tell me?
Hey, you!  Got some unfinished livin’ to do?
Hey, you!  Let’s sit down and swap some stories,
Hey, you!  Can I dream a while with you?

Dance little ballerina,
Gracefully, beautifully so,
Didn’t you swear that you would dare to be a dancer?
But that was many years ago …
Remember … dreams long forgotten … hold on tight … remember …

Paint me a pixie postman
With freckles and a big bow tie,
Didn’t you swear that you would dare to be an artist?
Well, what made you change your mind?
Remember … dreams long forgotten … hold on tight … remember …

Well, I’ve been thinkin’, and a-dreamin’,
All of my life … all of my life … all of my life …

Hey, you!  Got some dreams you want to tell me?
Hey, you!  Got some unfinished livin’ to do?
Hey, you!  Let’s sit down and swap some stories,
Hey, you!  Can I dream a while with you?
