Music by: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics by: Tim Rice Original version performed in: "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" musical Cover version by: The Toy Dolls
I closed my eyes, Drew back the curtain – To see for certain What I thought I knew.
Far, far away Someone was weeping… But the world was sleeping – Any dream will do.
I wore my coat – ha-ha! – With golden lining, Brrright colors shining, Wonderful and… new!
And in the East (And in the East!) The dawn was breaking, (A-a-aaah!) The world was waking – (A-aaah!) Any dream will do! Guitar!!!
(A crash of drums! A flash of light!) (My golden coat flew out of sight!) The colors faded into darkness – I was left alone!.. (A-a-a-aaah!..)
May I return (May I return!) To the beginning? (A-a-aaah!) The light is dimming (A-aaah!) And the dream is too… (The dream is too!)
The world and I – (The world and I!) We are still waiting, (A-a-aaah!) Still he-he-hesitating… (A-aaah!) Any dream will do! Go on!!!
(A crash of drums! A flash of light!) (My golden coat flew out of sight!) The colors faded into darkness – I was left alone! Any dream!!!
(The world and I! We are still waiting!) (Still hesitating! Any dream will do!) Still hesitati-ing – Any dream! Will!
