Lay your head down on my shoulder I won't let the night get colder I'll protect you, I'll be keepin' Trouble far from where you're sleepin'. Until you wake in the mornin' You've got the world to yourself. [Chorus] Dream on Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day Dream on Spent the night in heaven I'll be here to light your way. Someday tomorrow we'll smile But little girl in the meanwhile Dream on. You're a princess chains around you I'm a hero who just found you 'Til a brand new day must wake you Let imagination take you Go where the music is playing I'll be along in awhile. [Chorus]
