You would not believe the hassle I just went thru to find the lyrics to this song. Anyway, this song was very important to me in 1974. This was my last year before my life changed forever with bi-polar disorder. My teenage years were mainly spent in my imagination, where day to day problems with school, other people and problems at home didn't intrude. Many songs fueled this escapism. This song was the last to affect me in this way. Mental illness rips your life apart. Worst of all it takes away your dreams for a better life and rips away the rose-coloured glasses. You don't see life in the same way again, unless you are very lucky.
DREAM ON
Lay your head down on my shoulder
I won't let the night get colder
I'll protect you, I'll be keeping
Trouble far from where you're sleeping
Until you wake in the morning
You've got the world to yourself
Dream on
Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day
Dream on
Spend the night in heaven I'll be here to light your way
Someday tomorrow we'll smile
But little girl in the meanwhile
Dream on
You're a princess chains around you
I'm a hero who just found you
Till a brand-new day must wake you
Let imagination take you
Go where the music is playing
I'll be along in a while
Dream on
Dream about the world we're gonna live in one fine day
Dream on
Spend the night in heaven I'll be here to light your way
Someday tomorrow we will smile
But little girl in the meanwhile
Dream on
..........Righteous Brothers,1974
