"Write down your dreams or you'll forget"
She told me when we met
"They hold the key to what you're feeling"
Do you think I could be your mate
And your one true friend?
Let me tell you what I'm dealing

She used to think the Sun would shine forever

But that's a dream that we all share
To walk back down the avenues
Doing all the things we used to do
That's a dream that we all share
Making love all afternoon
Thinking I must marry her and soon

I was running down your street
I had lost my way
I couldn't hear what I was saying
You want the truth and so do I
But it won't come from me
You've got to talk as if you're praying

She used to think that love would last forever

But that's a dream that we all share
You are walking down the aisle
And when I turn around I see you smile
That's a dream that we all share
A union that won't fall apart
And every word will come right from the heart

When you're crying
What do you see in your tears?
Just more tears?

She used to think the sun would shine forever

But that's a dream that we all share
To walk back down the avenues
Doing all the things we used to do
That's a dream that we all share
A union that won't fall apart
Every word you say comes from the heart
