Shakespeare Said

Shakespeare said that dreams are only children
Of an idle brain, what did he know?
Dreaming never stopped poor Juliet
From loving her fair Romeo
Some say dreams are castles in the air
A waste of time but I don't care
In my dreams, you're always there

I've read we grow in the direction
Of our dreams, I believe that's true
Ever since I can remember
I've dreamed of someone just like you
Shakespeare wrote, but all in vain
For in my dreams you will remain
Until I find you real again

I won't stop dreaming
Always scheming
I believe that dreams come true

As long as there are dreams there is life. May your dreams catch up to you when you are awake.
