Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
This ship has sailed, and I've bid farewell to the shores familiar to me
Gravity releases its hold on my tired feet
Luminescent moonlight poured upon the sails
And I had a dream, I had a dream
We were running through the tall grass together
If I had a wish, if I had a wish
I would wish to stay forever and ever with you
With you, oh
But childhood came and left us like a dream
I toss my anchor recklessly overboard
I want to stay in the starry sky a little while more
When you bring me down, will you bring me down softly?
I'll open my eyes, and I'll see a world so strange to me
And I had a dream, I had a dream
Our hair was wild, our feet bare and dirty
If I had a wish, if I had a wish
I would take us to the time we were careless and free
Careless and free
Careless and free
And free
But childhood came and left us like a dream
