[Verse 1] When I was just a child Small town kid with a heart gone wild I wondered where you are Looking for you somewhere in the stars They say this life ain't free Money can't buy what you doing to me I'll show you streets of gold Open your eyes and watch it unfold [Pre-Chorus] Time to shake the shadow Sharpen up your arrow Climbing up the ladder I'm wide awake [Chorus] In this city made of dreams We'll go down in history Greatest story ever told They one that we wrote In this city made of dreams I'll still walking in my sleep It's a long and winding road But I'll carry you home [Verse 2] I payed for past mistakes Came along way from my darker days Stayed high 'til 4 am Wasting away with all my friends
That's when you came along A green-eyed dreamer with a siren song You found me out at sea Left me to drown on the bowery [Pre-Chorus] Time to shake the shadow Sharpen up your arrow Climbing up the ladder I'm wide awake [Chorus] In this city made of dreams We'll go down in history Greatest story ever told The one that we wrote In this city made of dreams I'll still walking in my sleep It's a long and winding road But I'll carry you home I'll carry you home [Chorus] In this city made of dreams We'll go down in history Greatest story ever told The one that we wrote In this city made of dreams I'll still walking in my sleep It's a long and winding road But I'll carry you home
