Every time that I look in the mirror
-all these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know - it's everybody's sin-
you got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books' written pages
-lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All these things come back to you

Sing with me - sing for the year
Sing for the laughter - sing for the tear
Sing with me - just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on and dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on and dream until your dream comes true
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
