The Rest Of The Dream

Well the midnight train can come and go without me;
Oh i don't need no taxi back to town.
I think i'll just stay right here in this deep old light,
Was supposed to meet someone here tonight,
Now i'm sittin here thinking,
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal.

No, i don't mind the rain; i never even noticed
And i don't feel the cold, it wouldn't matter anyhow,
As a matter of fact i could stay till the break of day,
I don't see as i'm in anybody's way;
I'm just sittin here thinking,
Waiting on a dark eyed gal.

She said she'd meet me at the station,
Don't believe she'll keep me waiting very long
Very long.
She never was one to let me know her mind,
So i'll stay right here, just doing my time
Just sitting here thinking,
Waiting on a dark eyed gal.

Yeah, the midnight train has come and gone without me,
I don't need no taxi back to town.
I think i'll just stay right here in this deep old light,
Was supposed to meet someone here tonight;
Now i'm sittin' here thinking,
Waiting on a dark eyed gal;
Yeah i'm just sitting here thinking,
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal.

I'm always looking for a minute that we can steal
Cause i need more of how you make me feel
I used to be the king of wasted time
Cause it made no difference till i made you mine

Now i wake up in the morning with a smile on my face
Can't get enough of the human race
Ain't loved like this since i can't remember when
Baby you made life good again oh yeah darlin you made life good again

I like the way you talk and the way you look when it comes to loving you wrote the book
Cause when you kiss me . . . tell me what part of heaven did you come from

Now i wake up in the morning with a smile on my face
Ain't loved like this since i can't remember when
Baby you made life good again oh yeah darlin you made life good again i was lonely, oh so lonely won't be lonely again i wake up in the morning with a smile on my face can't get enough of the hu
Ace ain't loved like this since i can't remember when baby oh yeah darlin you made life good again you made life good again

You were a tiny spark caught in your parents eyes and when they made love in the dark well you were a big surprise and the old man came through gave his very best for you and your mothers arms t
Ept you warm like no other arms can do til the light of the day was as bright as it seems and you knew in your heart you were living the rest i had a dream of you but i never realized that baby
Ream was true until you opened my eyes and i will come through give my very best for you and your loving arms will keep me warm cause no other arms will do when you can't find the light and we k
N our hearts we're living the rest of the dream now i see a tiny spark caught in your loving eyes as we make love in the dark and dream of the big surprise and the old man will come through son
Ughter just for you and your mama's arms will keep you warm like no other arms can do when you cant find the light at the top of the stairs when you cry in the night well you know we'll be there
The light of the day is as b
Right as it seems repeat chorus

If i could borrow from the future
And i'd spend it with you, darling, in a very special
I'd treat you to a sundae on a saturday afternoon
And we'd spend the night together throwing snowballs at the moon

We'd be aiming high and we'd be aiming low,
Winding up together, lord, and lettin' them snowballs go
And after every throw we'd share a little kiss
Make sweet love together every time we'd miss

Oh i'd like to meet the artist who painted up the sky
And i'd ask him what that color was he brushed against your eyes
And could he paint a picture of two lovers in one balloon
Who go flying off together to throw snowballs at the moon

We'd be aiming high, we'd be aiming low
Winding up together, lord and letting them snowballs go
And after every throw we'd share a little kiss
Make sweet love together everytime we'd miss

If we could stop the world from spinning take it nice and slow i bet that we could hit once just before we go

But we keep aiming high, we keep aiming low chorus

Here on the hilltop where we fell in love
Many moons later, now we're giving up
I start the engine, you start to cry
It's a beautiful memory but a sad sad goodbye.

How many times have we wished on a star,
Wrapped up in a quilt on the hood of my car
We saw halley's comet in lunar eclipse
And i sure saw heaven when i tasted your lips.

So blow out the stars, turn off the moon
Fade out the crickets and the nightingale's tune
Take down the magnolias that ride the soft wind
Another love story has come to an end

When our love was new as the first evening star
We both said i'll worship you just as you are
Then i tried to change you, girl, and i don't know why
You tried to change me, hey we might as well try.

To blow out the stars, turn off the moon
Fade out the crickets and the nightingale's tune
Take down the magnolias that ride the soft wind
Another love story has come to an end.

Take down the magnolias that ride the soft wind
Another love story has come to an end
