Dream Don't
This is a piece I have been working on for many years. I was involved in a music project with my youngest brother, The Boone Dalton Band. My nine-year-old son, Tommy, came into the studio and handed me a chord progression he had worked out. My brother and I messed around with it a bit and I wrote the lyrics then set it aside. Boone Dalton was a high-octane rock and roll band, not interested in performing love ballads. A couple of weeks ago, Tommy, a father now with two sons and a baby girl of his own, suggested we dust it off and give it a shot. We're still working on it. The timelessness of the process is a bit scary to me but wonderful for the same reasons. Music is the circle that never ends. Listening to that young man wrap fingers around chords he put together when he was a boy brings a tear to my eye and makes me want to break something.
~Dream Don't~
Walking through the realm of time
living on these dreams of mine
all alone in a world of changing
can’t believe I need arranging
Saw my face through windblown shadow
looking at your eyes a man knows
you are the woman
Felt my heart melt into you
do you love me, love me, do you
If I’m sleeping, Lord don’t take me
felt your breathing; please don’t wake me
Oh you’re real, what’s happened to me
I’ve learned to feel, what are you to me
you are the woman
You are the woman, you are the woman
dream don’t, dream don’t
dream don’t, dream don’t
you are the woman
Touch me if you feel my tears
I’m older than your heart and years
Can’t believe the tiny hand
reminding me that I’m a man
I don’t deserve, I’ll take your love
I’ve never cried, you make me love
you are the woman
Now I’m living in your eyes
loving ‘til it makes me cry
You’ve saved me from the sea of time
brought me back just one more time
Love what is, where did you go
was that a whisper, I love you so
you are the woman
you are the woman, you are the woman
dream don’t, dream don’t
dream don’t, dream don’t
you are the woman
you are the woman, you are the woman
dream don’t, dream don’t
dream don’t, dream don’t
you are the woman
