Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream? This ship has sailed, and I've bid farewell to the shores familiar to me Gravity releases its hold on my tired feet Luminescent moonlight poured upon the sails And I had a dream, I had a dream We were running through the tall grass together If I had a wish, if I had a wish I would wish to stay forever and ever with you With you, oh But childhood came and left us like a dream I toss my anchor recklessly overboard I want to stay in the starry sky a little while more When you bring me down, will you bring me down softly? I'll open my eyes, and I'll see a world so strange to me And I had a dream, I had a dream Our hair was wild, our feet bare and dirty If I had a wish, if I had a wish I would take us to the time we were careless and free Careless and free Careless and free And free But childhood came and left us like a dream
