Watching you sleeping at night so peacefully there in your bed I'm wondering what are the dreams and schemes Going on inside your head Do you float on the clouds with the moon for your light Or ride on the back of an eagle in flight Sleep on let your dreams take you high in the sky Let the world pass you by tonight Dream on little dreamer dream while you can One day you'll wake up and you'll be a man You're still just a child your spirit is free Dream on, dream on for me Tomorrow awaits and once more you'll wake to the new morning light You'll have forgotten the places you've been The world that you've seen in the night Try to remember try not to forget The real world is hard and you're not ready yet Dream on while you're dreaming I'll always be near There's nothing to fear tonight
