As a child, I was known for make-believing All alone I created fantasies As I grew people called it self-deceiving But my heart helped me hold the memories As I walk through the world I find around me Something new, yet familiar's in the air I feel it ev'rywhere Like a child's eyes On a Christmas night I'm lookin' at you now Finding answers to my prayers It's a new day for those good old dreams One by one it seems they're comin' true Here's the morning that my heart had seen Here's the morning that just had to come through Same old stage but what a change of scene No more dark horizons, only blue It's a new day for those good old dreams All my life I dreamed of lovin' you You're a spark of a long forgotten fire You're a touch of a slowly growing wind You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons Telling me there are some things that don't end We have left all the darkness far behind us All those hopes that we held along the way Have made it to this day Like an old love song Gone for much too long You hear it once again And it carries you away It's a new day for those good old dreams One by one it seems they're comin' true Here's the morning that my heart had seen Here's the morning that just had to come through Same old stage but what a change of scene No more dark horizons, only blue It's a new day for those good old dreams All my life I dreamed of you (I dreamed about you) It's a new day for those good old dreams And it's all because of you
