Lyrics
Crowds that come and go
But never know me
Songs I only hear yet never sing
Seem to fill my heart with hopes denied me
Yet my idle dreams mean ev’rything
Chorus
Dreams are the fortune we all can share
Splendors they bring us we all can wear
Beggars are Kings when they dwell
In the castles they build in air
Tho’ we must waken as dreamers do
While we believe that our dreams are true
We’ll live content in the sunshine that gleams
Along the road of dreams
