I might have been able to love you
if it weren't for a man who opened my heart wide
and left it exposed to sun and snow and rain
I might have been able to sing to you
if it weren't for the pain that wells up inside
just before the notes fall out I say I'm sorry and
put my guitar away
So lay yourself down by golden- grey streams
The good ones have gone the good ones have come
Life is a daydream
Life is a daydream
You baked us a pie in your kitchen
You shared a laugh with me
Now I'm sorry to see you are going but a friend is all I can be but who says a friend's a small thing?
Sometimes it's all you've got to keep yourselves together
Through turbulent weather when the storms try and snatch you away
So lay yourself down by golden-grey streams
The good ones have gone the good ones have come
Life is a daydream
Life is a daydream
Far away from this world is a place I'd rather live
where you belong to no one but you give yourself to someone and they never give your gift away
They keep it and store it as treasure
They'll bite it to see if it's gold
And they'll go wild with the possibilities
They'll sleep with it till they are old
So Lay yourself down by golden-grey streams
The good ones have gone the good ones have come
Life is a daydream
Life is a daydream
