The Rest of the Dream

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 mother's arms, they kept you warm

Like no other arms can do

When you can't find the light at the top of the stairs

When you cried in the night, well, you knew they were there

Till the light of the day was as bright as it seemed

And you knew in your heart you were livin' the rest of the dream

I had a dream of you

But I never realized

That baby, the dream was true

Until you opened my eyes

And I will come through

Give my very best for you

And your lovin' arms will keep me warm

'Cause no other arms will do

When you can't find the light at the top of the stairs

When you cry in the night, well, you know I'll be there

Till the light of the day is as bright as it seems

And we know in our hearts we're livin' the rest of the dream

Now I see a tiny spark

Caught in your lovin' eyes

As we make love in the dark

And dream of the big surprise

And the old man will come through

Son or daughter just for you

And your mama's arms will keep you warm

Like no other arms can do

When you can't find the light at the top of the stairs

When you cry in the night, well, well you know we'll be there

Till the light of the day is as bright as it seems

And you'll know in your heart you're livin' the rest of the dream

When you can't find the light at the top of the stairs

When you cry in the night, well, you know we'll be there

Till the light of the day is as bright as it seems

And we'll know in our hearts we're livin' the rest of the dream
