Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Dream With Open Eyes
Copyright: 2013
I wrote a song it was new to me
Then heard the words and the melody
Then I knew Iâd sung this song before
About a life that I once knew
With many years where dreams came true
Than I awoke and dreams would last no more
Then I prayed for sleep to come
another dream to be the one
to last the hours long past the morning sun
It brightly shone to light the day
it said my dreams could never stay
until that time when light would steal away
Darkness fell and when I closed my eyes
stars and planets dimly lit the skies
wait for sleep to come and I wondered when
....will I ever dream again
Passions flames were slowly doused
smoke was rising through my house
that sound alarms to open every door
Waken now and run away
promises of better days
as billowed clouds try shielding whatâs in store
clearing skies of what can be
Friends who came to rescue me
bearing gifts were true and not contrived
blinded by a beautyâs stare
it seemed the dark was always there
teaching me to dream with open eyes
Darkness fell and when I closed my eyes
stars and planets dimly lit the skies
wait for sleep to come and I knew right then
.... I can always dream again
