Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely
I think of you and i'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
Now the cards i've drawn's a rough hand, darling
I straighten the back and i'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
Come on!
I'm working on a dream
Though sometimes it feels so far away
I'm working on a dream
And i know it will be mine someday
Rain pourin' down, i swing my hammer
My hands are rough from working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
Let's go!
I'm working on a dream
Though trouble can feel like it's here to stay
I'm working on a dream
Well our love will chase trouble away
Alright!
[whistling interlude]
That's professional whistling right there!
I'm working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I'm working on a dream
Our love will make it real someday
The sun rise up, i climb the ladder
The new day breaks and i'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
Hey!
I'm working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I'm working on a dream
Our love will make it real someday
I'm working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I'm working on a dream
And our love will make it real someday
