two days ago i started dreaming
and the dream brought me back home
i was making my way slowly
to the place i started from
and a dream like this you dream in red and gold
they're the colors of remembrance i am told
i was sleeping with my sister i was turning 21
i was drinking vodka tonics winning card games just for fun
and now i can say that i'm a modern man
where before i really couldn't
now i can my baby
can't you see that i'm changing
love takes flight like a bird
and all is right in the world
day is night in night the sweet sun shines
come on come on come on come on
we are young we may never
be so young never ever
again and again
from boys to men go marching home
so while i lay there sleeping
there was darkness in the room
and my girl was at a movie
never felt so all alone
through the doorway came a spirit in a cloud
and he sat by me and spoke to me out loud
he said while the neighbors dream
you will be happy you'll be sad
you'll be singing you'll be dancing you'll be happy you'll be mad
but don't worry if you lose the friends you've made
just go la la cuz you'll always be ok my middle
and it flew out through my window
love takes flight like a bird
and all is right in the world
day is night in night the sweet sun shines
come on come on come on come on
we are young we may never
be so young never ever
again and again
from boys to men go marching home
come on alright
can't you see that i'm crazy
love takes flight like a bird
and all is right in the world
day is night in night the sweet sun shines
come on come on come on come on
we are young we may never
be so young never ever
again and again
from boys to men go marching home
