Life begins and spirits rise And they become memories that vaporize And the vapor becomes the dreams we devise And while we are dreaming time flies
Night turns to dawn and dreams to sighs And sighs change to sweet love that never dies And love becomes laughter and lullabies And while we are dreaming time flies
While we are dreaming we meet and exchange Conversations routinely and nothing seems strange But when we awake there's a sense of unease That another night's gone just as quick as you please
Night turns to dawn and then to bright skies And bright skies to picnics on warm Julys To deep umber autumns and winter goodbyes And while we are dreaming time flies While we are dreaming time flies
