Dreams Go By - Harry Chapin

作曲：Harry Chapin

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 want to be a ball player

A regular slugging fool

But I guess our dreams must wait awhile

Until we finish school

And so you and I

We watch our years go by

We watch our sweet dreams fly

Far away

Far away but maybe someday

I don't know when

But we will dream again

And we'll be happy then

Till our time 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

And so you and I

We watch our years go by

We watch our sweet dreams fly

Far away

Far away but maybe someday

I don't know when

But we will dream again

And we'll be happy then

Till our time 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 you're still so cute

We take the car to go and meet the bus

When I grandchildren come to visit us you know grandpa

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've gotta dream when you are young

And so you and I

We watched our years go by

We watched our sweet dreams fly

Far away

Far away but maybe someday

I don't know when

But we will dream again

And we'll be happy then

Till our time our time just drifts away

You and I

We watched our years go by

We watched our sweet dreams fly

Far away maybe someday

I don't know when

But we will dream again

And we'll be happy then

Till our time drifts away

Oh you you and I

We watched our years years go by

We watched our sweet sweet dreams fly

Far away maybe someday

I don't know when

But we will dream again

And we'll be happy then
