badfinger - the dreamer lyrics

there was a young man
watched his life unfold each day
he only wanted to play
he only needed a ray

and then he found out
one rainy afternoon, he'd lost
all he'd earned and was tossed
in the rivers he'd crossed

chorus:
and there he came across the dreamer
who told him life was but a dream
and all that you can see is all that you can be

there was a young love destined to get old someday
didn't happen that way
they never learned how to say

we've got a long, long time between us
we've got a long, long way to go
but i believe if we let it, our love will grow

[guitar solo (joe tansin)]

chorus

we've got a long, long time between us
we've got a long, long way to go
we've got a long, long time between us
we've got a long, long way to go
we've got a long, long time between us
we've got a long, long, long way to go
long way to go
(long, long time between us)
and i believe if we let it, our love will grow
our love will grow
our love will grow.
