I had a dream of days gone by When hopes were high and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die And then our dream had gone when we forgiving
Then I was young and I was not afraid And dreams were made and used and tasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, nothing was wasted
Then the tigers come at night With their voices so thundering And as they tear your dreams apart As they turn your dreams to shame, shame, shame, shame
He walked a summer, he walked a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride Oh, but he was gone when fall came, oh yes he was
And still I dream I stand like he'll leave me or come to me And then we will, then we will Then we will live life together
