  • 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 (I wore my coat)
    With golden lining (ah)
    Bright colors shining (ah)
    Wonderful and new

    And in the east (and in the east)
    The dawn was breaking (ah)
    And the world was waking (ah)
    Any dream will do

    A crash of drums
    A flash of light
    My golden coat
    Flew out of sight
    The colors faded into darkness
    I was left alone

    May I return (may I return)
    To the beginning (ah)
    The light is dimming (ah)
    And the dream is too

    The world and I (the world and I)
    We are still waiting (ah)
    Still hesitating (ah)
    Any dream will do

    Any dream will do

    A crash of drums
    A flash of light
    My golden coat
    Flew out of sight
    The colors faded into darkness
    I was left alone

    May I return (may I return)
    To the beginning (ah)
    The light is dimming (ah)
    And the dream is too

    The world and I (the world and I)
    We are still waiting (ah)
    Still hesitating
    Any dream will do

    Any dream, any dream
    Any dream, any dream will do
    Any dream, any dream
    Any dream, any dream will do
    Any dream, any dream
    Any dream, any dream will do
    Any dream, any dream
