When I was a little guy
My daddy told me "Mister
Don't ever try to climb too high
'Cause it's the fall that gets ya"
And some dreams can never come true
They'll never come true, oh
Well, I heard every word he said
But I don't guess I listened
But every time I banged my head
Against the wall or system
That some dreams don't ever come true (some dreams)
Don't ever come true (some dreams)
But some dreams do
If you just hang on
And your heart is true
And your hope is strong
Well, just because you've been around
And had your poor heart broken
Ain't no excuse for lyin' there
Before the last word's spoken
'Cause some dreams don't ever come true (some dreams)
Don't ever come true (some dreams)
Aw, but some dreams do
When you're feelin' low
And you think you're through
That's when you will know
Yeah, when you wish upon a star
Buddy, don't you miss it
Catch it 'fore it falls too far
And keep it with your secrets
'Cause some dreams don't ever come true (some dreams)
Don't ever come true (some dreams)
Don't ever come true (some dreams)
But some dreams do
