[Verse 1] The world is dark, the stars shine bright I see your eyes reflect their light You hug me tight, you hum a song I found this place where I belong [Pre-Chorus] Let seconds freeze and melt to days I feel eternal in your gaze Let us not sleep or waste the time We are still young and in our prime [Chorus, stronger, powerful] Let me dream on with open eyes We paint our world of future skies And when I leave, though we’re apart I carry you within my heart. [Verse 3] The dawn has come, the dream is past Our precious hours slipped by too fast I wake beneath a wintry hue I miss the summer days with you. [Verse 4] I reach for what I’ve felt and seen Now half the world lies in between My breakfast meets your dinner bite You wake just as I say goodnight. [Bridge] I hold and nurture dreams we share Of walking side by side with care I stroll alone through mountain snow One day, you’ll see the paths I know. [Verse 4] The stars we watched have slipped from view The moon glows differently for you Yet when this distance finds its end Our future skies will join again. [Final Chorus] Let me dream on with open eyes We’ll shape our world of future skies Across the miles, though we’re apart I carry you within my heart
