as dreams go by

bette midler

when the white bird flies

from your heart to mine

i surrender every part of me

to the tenderness. could it be the wine?

in your eyes stars shine

and i'm feeling like a child again. oh

it's taken me a little time

to find words to say

stay. make this forever

and lay love in my life. come what may

cherish each moment of love

as dreams go by. if the first glow fades

from the love we've made

i will hold you closer in the night

under heart and key. when there are hills to climb

and your world won't rhyme

i will fight until i get it right;

'cause your part of me

the heart of me

if only you'll stay. stay. make this forever

and lay love in my life. come what may

cherish each moment of love

as dreams go by. the trees and the towers are burning. fear walks on the sea. my soul in the wasteland is yearning. what does tomorrow hold for me?

oh

no. what can i say?

just that i need you. with you here by my side

we can turn even the desert evergreen

as dreams go by. oh

won't you stay?

make this forever

and lay love in my life. come what may

cherish each moment of love

as dreams go by. stay. make this forever. lay love in my life. come what may

cherish each moment of love

as dreams go by.
