Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild
Or a lifetime of worries might claim you
Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild
Or the years and the tears shed might claim you

For the last time we have tasted
Love's sweet tears by the fire's glow
If our hearts are strong there'll be
No long good-byes when it's time to go
But the strongest torch is sometimes broken
As the deepest vows aren't always spoken
And the greatest wounds, we hide inside ourselves
Where they never show

Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild
Or a lifetime of worries might claim you
Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild
Or the years and the tears shed might claim you

When the Winter weds the Northern Wind
The child they bear is snow
And the branches bow like worried bridesmaids
But the trees will grow
Sun and Earth in time will come together
God will give us back our summer weather
But the mem'ries of that first sweet
Taste of love pass away so slow

Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild
Or a lifetime of worries might claim you
Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild
Or the years and the tears shed might claim you

When there's no room left to live inside ourselves
Do we dream away
