The Rest of the Dream

you were a tiny spark caught in your parents eyes and when they
made love in the dark well you were a big surprise and the old
man came through gave his very best for you and your mothers
arms they kept you warm like no other arms can do til the light
of the day was as bright as it seems and you knew in your heart
you were living the rest I had a dream of you but I never
realized that baby the dream was true until you opened my eyes
and I will come through give my very best for you and your
loving arms will keep me warm cause no other arms will do when
you can't find the light and we know in our hearts we're living
the rest of the dream now I see a tiny spark caught in your
loving eyes as we make love in the dark and dream of the big
surprise and the old man will come through son or daughter just
for you and your mama's arms will keep you warm like no other
arms can do when you cant find the light at the top of the
stairs when you cry in the night well you know we'll be there
till the light of the day is as b
right as it seems repeat chorus
