Time was I had a dream The sky was so blue The meadow so green A time in the fire of my youth A time when a dreamer Had time for a dream to come true Oh but time is a handful of sand to an old man While time is a warm place to stand for a young man To stand any man with a young girl Watching the tide roll in Time was I had a dream Certain and sure I could do anything A time so long ago Once I knew a place in my heart Where a dream would come true Oh time is a rock and roll band to a young man While time is a warm loving hand to an old man A strong loving shoulder to lean on And watch the children at play Time was I had a dream Time was I had a dream My dream was to stand here and sing Stand here and sing I have had mountains and mountains And mountains in the palm of my hand
time, dream, stand, man, mountain
