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
with golden lining
Bright colours shining
wonderful and new

And in the east
the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do

A crash of drums
a flash of light
My golden coat
flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone

May I return
To the beginning
The light is dimming
and the dream is too

The world and I
We are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do

Any dream will do
