About If You Can Dream

"If You Can Dream" is the first song that was originally written and recorded specifically for the Disney Princess media franchise. It was written, produced, and arranged by Robbie Buchanan and Jay Landers. It was first released on the album Disney Princess: The Ultimate Song Collection. The song is sung from the point of view of the first eight official Disney Princesses (though only seven of them actually sing, excluding Snow White, who is just featured in the video). It has been featured on several Disney music CDs, and its music video is present on nearly every Disney Princess DVD, as either an extra or a Sing-Along, and has been shown numerous times on the Disney Channel, It Is Also One Of The Songs For Magenta 2004. To this day the song still plays on the official Disney Princess website. The song has been covered by teen country singer Ashley Gearing, and a shorter altered version performed by a different set of singers is featured in the ongoing Disney on Ice show Princess Wishes as the show finale. More recently, it serves as the exit song to Disneyland Paris' nighttime show Disney Illuminations.

Time passes by so quickly
But I guess I thought you'd be here forever
I never even had the chance
To say goodbye
There's so many things to tell you
Left unsaid until now

Can you hear me when I talk to you
Do the words I say ever make it through
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I'd give anything if I just knew

Every night I have the same dream
The one where you get to hold me
We laugh an' talk until the morning
An' then you vanish
It always leaves me feeling helpless
When I wake up an' you're not there

Can you hear me when I talk to you
Do you know how much I'd love to be with you
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I'd give anything if I just knew

Living in this world without you
I constantly search through my mem'ries
Hoping that I find some treasures
That I passed over
All that I took for granted
Means so much now an' I won't let it go

Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I never said somer things that I meant to
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I'd give anything if I just knew

You know I never said some things that I meant to
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I'd give anything if I just knew

I miss you Daddy
