[INTRO]
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Verse 1]
I wear this smile today,
With my heart torn,
You show me old albums
The way you smiled, the day I was born, 
All those photos, leave me forlorn,

[Verse 2]
Just talk to me —I pray, I implore.
But every time I try, you cry once more
You pretend, and your sad eyes give you away,
I wish I could see your real smile today.

[Chorus]
I wish your nightmares were my own.
My dreams relive how it was before.
You and Dad laughing when I made a joke, 
Such pride in your eyes, 
When I got good grades, or scored my first goal

I wish I could trade my dreams with you,
Make your pain go away,
So it fades and it’s gone to stay.
Don't cry for tomorrow, I am still here today.

[Verse 3]
I see you watch me, and sob,
From the threshold of my door.
I pretend to be sleeping, but I hear you weep,
Every tear a still secret, a pain you keep.

[Chorus]
I wish your nightmares were my own.
Trade them for my dreams 
Where I relive our best of days,
Today, today and now,
Let's have one more.

[Chorus]
I wish your nightmares were my own.
Trade them for my dreams,
Take away the pain you've known, 
I want to see you smile once more.

[Verse 4]
Don’t let the fear steal your joy, 
or cast a shadow on your smile,
Let's not let the good days pass us by,
(Just be by my side)

[BRIDGE]
Some hard days are coming, 
I understand, I'm not naive, I am not blind, 
We'll face them together, we know we can,  
As a team, like we've always had 
(Just be here with me!) (aaaaaah!)

[Chorus] 
I wish your nightmares were my own,  
Trade them for my dreams of hope,
Take away the pain you've known, 
Let tomorrow hold the pain, not today.

[descent] 
I wish your nightmares were my own,
Trade them for my dreams of hope...  
Let's not give up the good days, 
Set aside tomorrow's fear. 
Let us have a good one, just for today,  
The “now” is ours, we'll find our way,
A reason to smile, come what may.

[Soft]
I am at peace, 
I tell you again, 
It’s the beginning 
Not the end

[Refrain]
[OUTRO] [END]

[Drums powerful fill]

I wish your nightmares were my own,  
Trade them for my dreams of hope,
Take away the pain you've known, 
Let tomorrow hold the pain, not today.

[Soft]
I am at peace, 
I tell you again, 
It’s the beginning 
Not the end

[Refrain]
[OUTRO] [END]
