River Of Dreams Lyrics - Live - Glenn Frey

On a dark December morning 

When the sun refused to shine 

Spent another sleepless night 

Got so much on my mind 

Think I finally know what's wrong 

I think I've gotta leave this place behind 

So I said wake up, Linda, 

I've had a dream 

I dreamed we moved away from here 

To a place I'd never seen 

Where the nights were long and cold 

And the air was fresh and clean.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And there we were standing 

Underneath the western sky 

Beside a home we built ourselves 

Way up in the mountains high 

And we lived happy there, just you and I 

On a river of dreams 

There's no need to worry now 

Cause I've got a plan 

We don't need this modern world 

I'm not a modern man 

We're gonna get ourselves off these city streets 

We're gonna get back on the land 

There's a whole lot of people out there 

Feel just like you and me 

They'd love to pack their leavin' trucks 

And say goodbye to all their misery 

What'd ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey 

And chase the sun until we're free 

And if I could I'd lift you up on angel wings 

We'd fly away and never worry about a thing 

We'd know the joy and riches a simple life can bring 

On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams 

So get your things together now 

I'll be getting mine 

I've finally got the feeling girl 

The sun is gonna shine 

You know people don't run out of dreams 

People just run out of time 

Let's find that place out there 

Underneath the western sky 

We'll build a home ourselves 

Way up in the mountains high 

We'll live happy there 'til the day we die 

On a river of dreams 

And we'll have stars to wish on every single night 

We'll build a fire and make love by candlelight 

We'll do our moondance 'til we get it right 

On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams 

I can see us standing by the river 

Holding hands beside the river
