Dream On
Mark Bautista Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To love and cherish so well through the years
I hope one day we could return
Back to the day when it all had begun
Alone every night though how sad it seems
I go back in time when I was yours and you’re mine
I long for a chance where I just can go on
So I just dream on to get me through each night
I close my eyes and then I take flight
For in my dreams I’m never alone
Coz I have you there to call my own
All that I lived and breathed was you
Yes I remember we well could have been
A wounded soul since you’ve been gone
All torn and shattered my heart needs a home
Alone every night though how sad it seems
I go back in time when I was yours and you’re mine
I long for a chance where I just can go on
And hold you so close here in my arms again
So I just dream on to get me through each night
I close my eyes and then I take flight
For in my dreams I’m never alone
Coz I have you there to call my own
So I just dream on to get me through each night
I close my eyes and then I take flight
For in my dreams I’m never alone
Coz I have you there to call my own
So I just dream on to get me through each night
I close my eyes and then I take flight
For in my dreams I’m never alone
Coz I have you there to call my own
