I was a little girl Alone in my little world Who dreamed of a little home for me I played pretend between the trees And fed my houseguests bark and leaves And laughed in my pretty bed of green
I had a dream That I could fly From the highest swing I had a dream
Long walks in the dark Through woods grown behind the park I asked God who I'm supposed to be The stars smiled down at me God answered in silent reverie I said a prayer and fell asleep
I had a dream That I could fly From the highest tree I had a dream
oooo....
Now I'm old and feeling gray I don't know what's left to say About this life I'm willing to leave I lived it full, I lived it well As many tales I live to tell I'm ready now, I'm ready now I'm ready now To fly from the highest wing I had a dream
