I'll Dream of My Life

Dreams for tomorrow.

At night I lay in my bed
Dreams will sweep me away to their land
In their land my dreams will come true.

I sing my heart out, all alone on that stage.
Every eye is upon me, every ear is listening.
My resonant voice filling the theatre
Always the strongest alto in choir.

I stand before a class of small children
I point to the notes written in white
"Do, ra, me, fa," I have them repeat after I
I wonder how many of them are musicians to be.

I sit with my choir on the steps of a building
So far from home are we now!
I've made it to the top choir
I've made it to the European tour.

I hug my baby
My beautiful child
Smile at my spouse as the child laughs
The first of our rather large family.

In the morning I open my eyes
The dreams disappear as fast as they came.
I'll live through this day and dream of tomorrow,
Every time I close my eyes I'll dream of my life.
