It
couldn't have been easy for you
to
give up your freedom,
to
set aside your dreams
for
someone else's needs.
So
it should come as no surprise
that
you grew to resent that job,
and
it pains my heart to think of the cost
of
the security that it bought.
But
it helped you to raise a family
and
get your children out on their own,
and
somehow each morning still finds you there
even
after they've grown.

Oh,
you gave up on some of your dreaming
'cause
it's what you felt you had to do.
I
hope your investment was worth it,
that
the love returns to you.

The
dust piles high on that motorbike
out
in the garage,
and
how many other dreams
did
you stow away in storage?
The
secrets we hide inside ourselves
are
deeper than anyone knows,
but
when our dreams begin to fade
the
eyes will let it show.
Every
now and then
I
catch this sadness in your eyes.
Don't
give up on dreaming;
dreams
are endless as the sky.
Oh,
there's plenty of time left for dreaming.
Retirement
is just around the bend.
I
hope you can muster up the strength
and
the energy to start again.

I
remember those Little League tryouts
when
I didn't make the team.
In
the parking lot flowed the teardrops
of
a little boy's broken dreams.
My
vision blurred, I looked over at you,
and
I saw that love in your eyes.
You
found another team where I could play
and
taught me to keep on trying.
Every
now and then
I
still feel like that kid in that car.
Those
loving eyes still look back at me
to
keep me from losing heart.
So
I'll keep on a-dreaming,
if
you keep dreaming, too.
It
seems to me the only way
that
we're gonna make it through.
Yeah,
I'll keep on a-dreaming,
and
you keep dreaming, too.
Why
not keep on dreaming?
We've
got nothing better to do.
