They become memories that vaporize
And the vapor becomes all the dreams we devise
And while we are dreaming, time flies
Night turns to dawn and dreams to sighs
And sighs change to sweet love that never dies
And love becomes laughter and lullabies
And while we are dreaming, time flies
And while we are dreaming we meet and exchange
Conversations routinely and nothing seems strange
But when we are awake there's a sense of unease
That another night's gone just as quick as you please
And night turns to dawn and then bright skies
And bright skies to picnics on warm Julys
To deep umber autumns and winter goodbyes
And while we are dreaming, time flies
While we are dreaming, time flies
Time flies, time flies, time flies
Life begins and the spirits rise They become memories that vaporize And the vapor becomes all the dreams we devise And while we are dreaming, time flies Night turns to dawn and dreams to sighs And sighs change to sweet love that never dies And love becomes laughter and lullabies And while we are dreaming, time flies And while we are dreaming we meet and exchange Conversations routinely and nothing seems strange But when we are awake there's a sense of unease That another night's gone just as quick as you please And night turns to dawn and then bright skies And bright skies to picnics on warm Julys To deep umber autumns and winter goodbyes And while we are dreaming, time flies While we are dreaming, time flies Time flies, time flies, time flies Explain Request ×
