Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Once you had gold

Once you had silver

Then came the rains

Out of the blue

[Verse 2]

Ever and always

Always and ever

Time gave both darkness and dreams to you

[Verse 3]

Now you can see

Spring becomes autumn

Leaves become gold

Falling from view

[Verse 4]

Ever and always

Always and ever

No one can promise a dream come true

Time gave both darkness and dreams to you

[Verse 5]

What is the dark

Shadows around you

Why not take heart

In the new day?

[Verse 6]

Ever and always

Always and ever

No one can promise a dream for you

Time gave both darkness and dreams to you
