Eight years old wearing his daddy's hard hat

He grabbed the water hose

Says he saw the fireman do it like that

His wagon was his ladder truck

He pulled it around, and at the top of his lungs 

He'd make a fire engine sound



In The Dream

He is more than just a hero

More than anything he ever wanted to be

In The Dream

There's a world that lasts forever

And life is so much better than it seems

Close your eyes you can be anything

In The Dream



Fumbling through the attic

She found her mother's old wedding dress

She said someday she'd wear it

And wouldn't mama be impressed

She can just about imagine what everyone would say

When her knight in shining armor comes to carry her away



In The Dream

She's as pretty as a picture

More than anything she ever wanted to be

In The Dream

There's a world that lasts forever

And life is so much better than it seems

Close your eyes you can be anything

In The Dream



On the one side of the isle

Sits all her family

On the other side are all his friends from Engine 53

When she looks at him

I wonder if he knows

To her he's still the boy she met 20 years ago



In The Dream

He's more than just a hero

She pretty as a picture

Like they wanted to be 

In The Dream

There's a world that lasts forever

And life is so much better than it seems

Close your eyes you can be anything

Close your eyes you can be anything

In The Dream
