Dream Away
Lisa Stansfield · Other Songs - Lisa Stansfield
Just gets too much for you to take
When you find too many troubles on your mind then
Feel just like there is no escape
And it seems your heart has forgotten how to believe
Turn a page in your soul
There's a place you can go
Close your eyes and let your heart fly free (fly free)
Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see
Dream..., dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining (find your silver lining)
Everything you need is just to dream away
Remember when (remember when)
the dream could take you anywhere (anywhere you want to)
Just to wish (yes) anything could be
When the father Sol is one more star you could reach
Take a look in your heart
'Cause that's where dreams are where start
Anything is real if you just believe (believe...)
Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see
Dream..., dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining (find your silver lining)
Everything you need is just to dream away
All it takes is faith to make your dream come true (ah ah)
And somewhere in this world there'll be somebody
To share your dreams with you
Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see
Dream..., dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining (find your silver lining)
Everything you need is just to dream away
