Lyrics
- What we don’t see doesn’t hurt us
What we don’t know doesn’t pain
And if our faith won’t desert us
We’ll see the sun thru the rain
Refrain:
Please don’t take away my dreams
Throughout all this time
I have dreamt you’re mine
Tho’ there’s someone else, it seems
I belong to you, faithful, dear, and true
From my side, angry pride tore you
Sorry dear, waiting here for you
If a star of hope still gleams
Darling, while it gleams
Let me have my dreams
- You’re my ideal since my childhood
You’re the one dream that remains
And now I feel as a child would
Through all the gladness and pain
