The DREAMER
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.
This is my song
And no one can take it away
It’s been so long
But now you’re here, here to stay
And I wonder if you know what it means
To find your dreams come true
This is my song
And no one can make it alright
It’s been so long
Since someone could make me cry
And I wonder if you know what it means
To laugh as tears go by
Slow down you crazy child
You’re so ambitious for a Jovenile
But then if you’re so smart
Tell me why are you still so afraid, hmm
Where’s the fire, what’s to hurry about
You better cool it off before you’re burn it out
You’ve got so much to do in only so many hours a day
But you know that when the truth is told
That you could get what you want
Or you can just get old
You’re gonna kick-off before you even get halfway through, ohh
When will you realize?
The yellow wait for you
Slow down, you’re doing fine
You can be everything you wanna be before your time
Although it’s so romantic on the border line tonight, tonight
Too bad but it’s the laugh you leave
You’re so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you’re wrong
You know you can’t always see when you’re right
You’re right
You got your passion, you got your pride
But don’t you know that all the fools are satisfied
Dream on, but don’t imagine that all come true, ohh
When will you realise vienna wait for you
