For they die br As quickly as they rise br For I only had you in my arms yesterday br Hold on to your dreams br And don't let your nite mare become your reality br Hold on to your dreams br And keep your head held high br Stay away from those dark places br The ones that reside in your mind br Hold on to dreams br For when this rude awakening hits it's all you'll have br Hold on to your dreams br For today is the day you are dreaming br Now that I'm gone br Hold on to your dreamsbr br Muriel Ruth Emersonbr br
