Last night as I lie sleeping I had dreams of a place untold You never see people weeping There's no wars and no greed for gold It's a place where love can unfold But by the time my dream is in stride It's time for that ol' sun to rise Oh sunrise on the horizon beneath the sky Oh sunrise you always catch me by surprise I'm always returning to reality Leaving that world of love and peace One thing I'm sure ain't no fantasy It's the place I'll always want to be And the girl I met must be for me (repeat A) Oh sunrise why must you come so soon Oh sunrise you don't soothe me like the moon Each night I go back to love-land A name I heard some fellow say I found me a loving hand But somehow I just can't stay' Cause each time she fade away But by the time, my dream is in stride It's time for that ol' sun to rise
