Harry Chapin - Dreams Go By lyrics

Your rating:

Looking all grown up and so very pleased
 When you write your poems they have so much to say
 When you speak your dreams it takes my breath away

 You know I want to be a ball player
 A regular slugging fool
 But both our dreams must wait awhile
 Until we finish school

 And so you and I
 We'll watch our years go by
 We'll watch our sweet dreams fly
 Far away, but maybe someday

 I don't know when
 But we will dream again
 And we'll be happy then
 Till our time just drifts away

 There you stand in your wedding dress
 You're so beautiful that I must confess
 I'm so proud you have chosen me
 When a doctor is what you want to be

 You know I want to be a painter, girl
 A real artistic snob
 But I guess we'll have our children first
 You'll make a home, I'll get a job

 Listen to the seasons passing
 Listen to the wind blow
 Listen to the children laughing
 Where do broken dreams go?

 There you stand in your tailored suit
 So many years gone by, but your're still so cute
 We take the car to go and meet the bus
 When our grandchildren come to visit us

 You say you should have been a ballerina, babe
 There are songs I should have sung
 But I guess our dreams have come and gone
 You gotta dream when you are young

 And so you and I
 We'll watch our years go by
 We'll watch our sweet dreams fly
 Far away, but maybe someday

 I don't know when
 But we will dream again
 And we'll be happy then
 Till our time just drifts away
