A dream is only a dream while you're sleeping, Awakened by the call of dawn and beautiful sunrise, It quietly disappears, Faded into distant and unimportant memory, Hope is a dream while awake, It too often passes away, Like an old friend, Gone with shocking abruptness, And fading away are the memories of each, Old friends and hopes and dreams, A part of us is taken away with them, Leaving us to wonder, If anything truly matters?

while it lasted
A dream is only a dream while you're sleeping, Awakened by the call of dawn and beautiful sunrise, It quietly disappears, Faded into distant and unimportant memory, Hope is a dream while awake, It too often passes away, Like an old friend, Gone with shocking abruptness, And fading away are the memories of each, Old friends and hopes and dreams, A part of us is taken away with them, Leaving us to wonder, If anything truly matters?
