When I was a little guy |
|
My daddy told me "Mister, |
|
Don't ever try to climb too high |
|
'Cause it's the fall that gets ya |
|
And some dreams can never come true |
|
They'll never come true" |
|
Well, I heard every word he said |
|
But I don't guess I listened |
|
But every time I banged my head |
|
Against the wall or system |
|
Yeah, some dreams don't ever come true |
|
Don't ever come true |
|
But some dreams do |
|
If you just hang on |
|
And your heart is true |
|
And your hope is strong |
|
Well, just because you've been around |
|
And had your poor heart broken |
|
That's no excuse for lyin' there |
|
Before the last word's spoken |
|
'Cause some dreams don't ever come true |
|
Don't ever come true |
|
Aw, but some dreams do |
|
When you're feelin' low |
|
And you think you're through |
|
That's when you will know |
|
Yeah, when you wish upon a star |
|
Buddy, don't you miss it |
|
Catch it 'fore it falls too far |
|
Keep it with your secrets |
|
'Cause some dreams don't ever come true |
|
Don't ever come true |
|
Don't ever come true |
|
But some dreams do |
