All my life I've been waiting
In my mind in a rocking chair
For my fancy to take me
And I would know the time
Tick and Tock went my childhood
Father said I would
know the place
Skin would tingle
and pulse would race
As they do It's here
I'm home
Where music fills the air
And I'm home
Where a thousand lovers cry
Swoon and Sigh
And I'm home
Where every violin
Plays a treat as sweet
As a honeycomb
Where ever music plays
I know I am home
Here where fables come alive
Year by year
We forget our troubled lives
Under lights
And each tear
Becomes a gentle tune or duet
kept straight by a metronome
And if I'm singing
Then I know I am home
Where every English horn
Makes me feel glad I'm born
And every woodwind trill
Excites a thrill that's new
The giant contra bass
The great soprano's face
Combine to make a perfect world
Far better than what's outside
Dreams I've lived
within my dreams
Now it seems
I've awakened and they're real
Pinch and feel
If one day
I walk upon this stage
from these wings
And play underneath this dome
And if I sing with all my heart
I'll be home
All my life to be waiting
For an angle to one day sing
Mouth goes dry
And my knees go weak
At each word
Each sound
That voice
That music in the air
Every choice
Every syllable
Each note
How they float
And her tone
A miracle of silk spun to gold
Unfolding in polychrome
And when I hear it
How I know I am home
Who is this prodigy
Who sings to only me
She is as innocent
And natural as a rose
I'd do her so much good
We two I know we could
Combine to make a perfect world
Far better than what's outside
La La La
La La La
La La La
Dreams
I've lived within my dreams
Now it seems I've awakened
And they're real
If they're real
If one day I
she walks upon this stage
From these wings
And plays underneath this dome
And if I
she sings with all
my
her heart
I'll be home
