Dreaming Lyrics

I was born by a river in Southamton town

My parents were sailors they took me along

My brother and cousins would sail through the night

And I'd lie there just dreaming in the silky starlight

Dreaming just dreaming in the silky starlight

Dreaming and pondering the meaning of life

Our village was a small one, though our farmhouse was big

Surrounded by fields the neighbours had pigs

My brother and I'd go to the beech woods at night

And I'd lie there just dreaming in the twinkling starlight

Dreaming, just dreaming in the silky starlight

Dreaming and pondering the meaning of life

The memories of my childhood surround me

Climbing trees and playing in the sun

I hope I can offer my children

A childhood with memories of fun

When I left to go to school I felt brave and mature

I would board like my brother and stay home no more

The letters we wrote home sounded full of delight

But I lay there just dreaming in the dark of the night

Dreaming, just dreaming in the dark of the night

Dreaming and pondering the meaning of life

Dreaming just dreaming live life in peace

Dreaming just dreaming let go and be released

I treasure the memories I hold in my heart

And dreaming just dreaming I go back to the start

Dreaming just dreaming I go back to the start

Treasuring the memories I hold in my heart
