Dreams Go By lyrics by Harry Chapin
Harry ChapinDREAMS GO BY
There you stand
in your dungarees
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 wanna
be a ball player
a regular slug and fool
But both our dreams
must wait a while
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 wanna be
You know I wanna 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
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
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
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
Oh, 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
