Hopes were high and the time slipped by
Like the world was standing still
And the feelings then never came again
Perhaps they never will
Those times they came upon us
And then they hurried from us
Though the times were harder then
I wish I had them still
When we had dreams, we had dreams
We had dreams to come and chase the clouds away
We had dreams to come and last forever and a day
Anytime we wanted, anytime at all
The race is run, the game is won
The sacrifices made
We found our fun in the summer sun
And the carnival parades
But the answers still defy me
As the years go racing by me
Why the summer sun seemed much more fun
When we were back there in the shade
When we had dreams, we had dreams
We had dreams to come and chase the clouds away
We had dreams to come and last forever come what may
Anytime we wanted, anytime at all
When we had dreams, we had dreams
We had dreams to come and chase the clouds away
We had dreams to come and last forever and a day
Anytime we wanted, anytime at all
