The Lost Songs
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?
