This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Seasons of the Heart album, and has also been released on the The Country Roads Collection album. There are dreams that sail away to sea And some that stay at home There are dreams in need of company And some that stand alone There are dreams that stay inside all day And never see the light And if dreams come true I swear to you I'll dream of you tonight In a corner bar the local star Destroys a passing chord He sits behind a Mason jar And dreams of his reward Then he takes his break And he counts his take A dollar buys a beer A quarter of his life is gone And what's he doing here Times are hard The old backyard is covered in cement The people seem afraid to dream And dream don't cost a cent There are dreams that stay inside all day And never see the light And if dreams come true I swear to you I'll dream of you tonight And if dreams come true I swear to you I'll dream of you tonight Words and Music by Stephen Geyer
