Less Than the Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am less than the song I am singing
I am more than I thought I could be
Spent some time as a child in daydreamin'
As a young man I sailed on the sea.
Then come stand by my side where I'm goin'
Take my hand if I stumble and fall
It?s the strength that you share when you?re growin'
That gives me what I need most of all
That gives me what I need most of all.
Different minds, different changes
Different reasons to believe
Some far journeys we have taken
Some sweet dreams we?ve had to leave.
And I want you to be happy
And I hope you always will
For I cannot rest easy
'Til all your dreams are real
'Til all your dreams are real.
All your dreams are real, pretty mama
All your dreams are real
All dreams are real, sweet mama
All your dreams are real.
All your dreams are real, pretty mama
All your dreams are real
All dreams are real, sweet mama
All your dreams are real.
I am less than the song I am singing
I am more than I thought I could be
Spent some time as a child in daydreamin'
As a young man I sailed on the sea...
