In the Dream

	Eight years old wearing his daddy’s hard hat
	He grabbed the water hose
	Said he saw the fireman do it like that
	His wagon was his ladder truck
	He pulled it around and at the top of his lungs
	He’d make a fire engine sound
	In the dream he is more than just a hero
	More than anything he ever wanted to be
	In the dream there’s a world that lasts forever
	And life is so much better than it seems
	Close your eyes, you can be anything in the dream
	Fumbling through the attic
	She found her mother’s old wedding dress
	She said someday she’d wear it
	And wouldn’t mama be impressed
	She can just about imagine what everyone would say
	When her knight in shining armor comes to carry her away
	In the dream she’s as pretty as a picture
	More than anything she ever wanted to be
	In the dream there’s a world that lasts forever
	And life is so much better than it seems
	Close your eyes, you can be anything in the dream
	On the one side of the isle, sits all her family
	On the other side are all his friends from
	Engine 53When she looks at him
	I wonder if he knows
	To her he’s still the boy she met 20 years ago
	In the dream he’s more than just a hero
	She's pretty as a picture like they wanted to be
	In the dream there’s a world that lasts forever
	And life is so much better than it seems
	Close your eyes, you can be anything
	Close your eyes, you can be anything in the dream
