Those Good Old Dreams

Carpenters · 40/40 [2009]

As a child I was known for make believin'

All alone I created fantasies

As I grew people called it self-deceiving

But my heart helped me hold the memories



As I walk through the world I find around me

Something new yet familiar's in the air

I feel it everywhere

Like a child's eyes on a Christmas night

I'm looking at you now

Findin' answers to my prayers



It's a new day for those good old dreams

One by one it seems they're comin' true

Here's the morning that my heart had seen

Here's the morning that just had to come through



Same old stage but what a change of scene

No more dark horizons, only blue

It's a new day for those good old dreams

All my life I've dreamed of lovin' you



You're a spark of a long forgotten fire

You're a touch of a slowly growin' wind

You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons

Tellin' me there are some things that don't end



We have left all the darkness far behind us

All those hopes that we had along the way

Have made it to this day

Like an old love song gone for much too long

You hear it once again

And it carries you away



It's a new day for those good old dreams

One by one it seems they're comin' true

Here's the morning that my heart had seen

Here's the morning that just had to come through



Same old stage but what a change of scene

No more dark horizons, only blue

It's a new day for those good old dreams

All my life I've dreamed of you (I've dreamed of you)



It's a new day for those good old dreams

And it's all because of you
