I closed my eyes,
drew back the curtain
To see for certain
what I thought I knew
Far, far away,
someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do

I wore my coat,
with golden lining
Bright colors shining,
wonderful and new
And in the east,
the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do

A crash of drums,
a flash of light
My golden coat
flew out of sight
The colors faded into
darkness I was left alone

May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming,
and the dream is too
The world and I,
we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do

A crash of drums,
a flash of light
My golden coat
flew out of sight
The colors faded into
darkness I was left alone

May I return to the beginning
The light is dimming,
and the dream is too
The world and I,
we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
