Some time ago I sang of just how far I've been
What did people then just didn't seem to care?
Well I sang the song and I played the tune and bore my fingers bare
I was young I had nowhere to be but there
So climb the stairs,
lock your dreams away Cause it just might be that they may come
true someday Then as time passed I wished I had a lady
gay
To be with me and put my mind at rest
And as I dreamed I told me she would be the best
And I wondered if my old faint heart would ever stand that test
So climb the stairs,
lock your dreams away
Cause it just might be that they will work
someday
Then it came to pass I settled down a while
And I sang the song once more and let it rise
And I made some plans to try the things I had inside
Just sit by the sea and watch the waves in the rolling tide
So walk the shore,
fling your cares away Cause it just might be that you will find
You'll run free someday
Now as time goes by and the days are brighter now
The darkness in my soul seems to have passed
And I play the tune and I sing the song of
a love held fast Between myself and the one who came along at last
So walk the shore,
fling care from off your shoulders
Cause now at last
you're running free today
