Dream On
Joseph William Morgan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Dream on
Dream on
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Dream on
Dream on
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away





Dream on
