Dreams And Reality

The sun is shining bright

As I sit and think about

The dream I had last night.

The one I love was here with me

Why did I have to wake

To this world of harsh reality,

To sorrow and heart ache?

If I could but know the way

To make my dream come true

I'd live in loneliness no more

No more would I be blue.

But I must face life like it is

And I must find a way

To make the best of what I have

As I start a brand new day.

The future lies ahead of me

The past is dead and gone

My dreams I must let fade away

With the breaking of the dawn.

So I'll have a cup a coffee

Count the blessings that are mine

let the sunshine warm my heart

And things will turn out fine.
