Lyrics
I Had A Dream - by Kirk Duncan
I HAD A PRAYER THAT I SAID EVERY NIGHT ? TO GET ME THROUGH
BUT ONLY THE PAIN OF THE DAYS OF MY LIFE SEEMED TO BE TRUE
BUT I COULD DREAM ? THINGS COULD GET BETTER
WHO KNOWS ? MAYBE A LETTER FROM YOU
I HAD A DREAM THAT MY HOME WAS A CASTLE IN THE AIR
THERE WAS A PART WHERE I OPENED THE DOOR AND YOU WHERE THERE
WE LIVED IN PEACE EVER AFTER ? A LIFE SO FULL OF LAUGHTER AND NO CARES
IN ANOTHER TIME ? I COULD BE
ANYTHING I WANT ? I COULD BE
LIVING IN A DREAM THAT YOU COULD SHARE
IN ANOTHER PLACE ? I SHOULD BE
PRAYING JUST IN CASE ?I SHOULD BE
LIVING THE BELIEF THAT YOU?D BE THERE
OVER AND OVER I TRY TO REMEMBER
THE DREAMS THAT I HAD AS A CHILD
COLDER AND COLDER - THE PAST IS AN EMBER
THE FLAMES OF MY YOUTH WERE SO WILD
I HAD A DREAM THAT I LOOKED LIKE A PRINCESS ON A THRONE
AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE - THEY LOVED ME AS THOUGH I WAS THEIR OWN
IN MY DREAM YOU WERE A KING
AND YOU CALLED ME TO SING
BUT IT WAS A DREAM ? AND I?M STILL ALONE
IN ANOTHER TIME ? I COULD BE
ANYTHING I WANT ? I COULD BE
LIVING IN A DREAM THAT YOU COULD SHARE
IN ANOTHER PLACE ? I SHOULD BE
PRAYING JUST IN CASE ? I SHOULD BE
LIVING IN A DREAM - YOU WOULD BE THERE
FURTHER AND FURTHER ? THE PAST IS RECEDING
THE DAYS OF MY YOUTH SEEMED SO LONG
HIGHER AND HIGHER - MY HOPES THEY ARE RISING
THAT I CAN SING ALL OF MY SONG
OVER AND OVER I TRY TO REMEMBER
THE DREAMS THAT I HAD AS A CHILD
COLDER AND COLDER - THE PAST IS AN EMBER
THE DAYS OF MY YOUTH WERE SO WILD
I HAD A DREAM OF THE MAN ON THE MOON WHO SHONE AWHILE
AND OF A SKY THAT WAS PAINTED SO BLUE ? IT MADE ME SMILE
IN THOSE DAYS WHEN I WAS SMALLER
I WOULD DREAM THAT I WAS TALLER
BUT IT WAS A DREAM
AND I?M STILL ALONE
