The Dream
Secret Garden feat. Moya Brennan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you see the sign of my love
Did you see the look in my eyes
Did you feel the touch of my hand
Close to you
Do you feel my heart in your heart forever

Dream on of a love that's yours forever
Hold on take heart and discover all the world

Could it be the waves on the rocks
Could it be the patter of the rain
Could it be the sigh of the breeze
We didn't hear
Could it be the thrill of our love
We felt come near

Dream on of a love that's ours together
Hold on take heart and discover all the world

Would I have to dream on someday
Would I have a reason to stay
Would I have to look far away
To find you
Would I have to dream on today
To find a way

Why did I say that I'm not the kind
We did I feel left behin
Why did I think that I'll never fall
In love again
Now you see I've changed my mind
To love you

Now I know to dream on today
Now I know the reason to stay
Now I know you're not far away
My sweetheart




Now I know we'll dream on someday
Together
