in sweeter dreams

as the sun begins to rise
above the trees, to break the night
i can feel it's distant warmth
is touching me
i see a car go 'round the bend
i see a highway with no end
i see a place i used to be
when i was young

as the days go by so fast
turn the present, to the past
the one thing that will last
the memories
i am older, just the same
and yes i can go home again
when i gaze upon this place
in sweeter dreams

and the dream will have no end
and yes i can go home again
i can see all my old friends
the way they were
i will visit now and then
all the places i have been
as i remember when
in sweeter dreams
