Ronnie Dio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time that I look into the mirror
All these lines in my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Well, I know, nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true, oh
All these things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take it away
Hey-hey-hey

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take it away

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream comes true

Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, oh

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take it away

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears




Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow will pull out and take it away, yeah

Lyrics

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone;
It went by like dust to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
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.
Half my life's in books' written pages,
Lived and learned from fools and from sages.
You know it's true,
All these things
Come back to you.
Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.
Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream yourself a dream come true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
And dream until your dream comes true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream on, dream on, dream on, ah. ah.
Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.
Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.

Ни татуировок, ни накаченных мышц, ни понтов. Дио обладал лишь своей фактурой, харизмой и великолепным голосом. Вечная Вам память Ронни Джеймс Дио.
