I once had a dream and it never came true I once had a dream and it never came true In his arms I'd find that island Where summers are long and lazy and full of songs Where winters are spent by the fireplace, with a fat cat on our lap Eating chestnuts and sharing a blanket I once had a dream and it never came true I once had a dream and it never came true Our island would float in the middle of the ocean And no pain nor fear could ever reach us From time to time we'd climb the hills Through thick forests and steep cliffs And from the top, we would gaze at the horizon The sunrise, the sunset And whales playing in between Their tales waving goodbye as they'd dive Their heads saying hello as they'd rise from the deep He'd turn to me and without words Just with a blink of an eye He'd reassure me That everything's in order No enemy, no harm, no trouble along our border I once had a dream and it never came true I once had a dream but it never came true I found out the day I found out the day that I met you
