Aerosmith —
Dream on

Lyrics and Music by Steven Tyler

Every time that I look in the mirror,
All these lines on my face
Getting 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.

   Yeah!
   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 the things come back to you.

   Sing with me, sing for the year,
   Sing for the laughter
   And sing for the tears.
   Sing with me if it’s just for today,
   Maybe tomorrow the good Lord
   Will take you away.

   Yeah!
   Sing with me, sing for the year,
   Sing for the laughter
   And sing for the tears.
   Sing with me if it’s just for today,
   Maybe tomorrow the good Lord
   Will take you away.

Chorus:
     Dream on, dream on, dream on,
     Dream yourself a dream come true.

     Dream on, dream on, dream on,
     Dream until your dream come true.

     Dream on, dream on,
     Dream on, dream on,
     Dream on, dream on,
     Dream on, ah…

   Sing with me, sing for the year,
   Sing for the laughter
   And sing for the tears.
   Sing with me if it’s just for today,
   Maybe tomorrow the good Lord
   Will take you away.

   Sing with me, sing for the year,
   Sing for the laughter
   And sing for the tears.
   Sing with me if it’s just for today,
   Maybe tomorrow the good Lord
   Will take you away.
