 F 
When I live my dream I'll take you with me,
                     Gm 
riding on a golden horse.
       F                          Gm              F 
We'll live within my castle with people there to serve you,
 F           Cm7            F    Gm7  C7
happy at the sound of your voice.

 F          Gm7           C      A#
Maybe I'll slay a dragon for you,
    F             Gm7             C   A#
or banish wicked giants from the land,
     F        D#        F             A#
but you will find that nothing in my dream can hurt you,
Cm            D#              F           A#              Fm7  C C7
we will only love each other, as forever when I live my dream.

When I live my dream, I'll forgive the things you've told me
And the empty man you left behind
It's a broken heart that dreams, it's a broken heart you left me
Only love can live in my dream

I'll wish, and the thunder clouds will vanish
Wish, and the storm will fade away
Wish again, and you will stand before me while
the sky will paint an ouverture
And trees will play the rhythm of my dream

When I live my dream, please be there to meet me
Let me be the one to understand
When I live my dream, I'll forget the hurt you gave
Then we can live in our new land

Till the day my dream cascades around me
I'm content to let you pass me by
Till that day, you'll run to many other men
But let them know it's just for now

Tell them that I've got a dream
And tell them you're the starring role
Tell them I'm a dreaming kind of guy
And I'm going to make my dream

Tell them I will live my dream
Tell them they can laugh at me
But don't forget your date with me
When I live my dream
