Build A Dream

Build A Dream

Build a story line by line
Build a song rhyme on rhyme
Build a life on the sands of time
Build a dream with me

Build a building beam by beam
Build a movie scene by scene
Takes a leap of faith to build a dream
Take a leap of faith with me
I'd build a dream with you
We could make a dream come true
Takes a leap of faith and some follow through
To build a dream with you

Build a love touch by touch
As want, desire and need and such
Turns into joy and faith and trust
Build a dream with me

I felt it right there at the start
First time I saw you you stopped my heart
You took my careful world apart
And built a dream with me
I'd build a dream with you
We could make a dream come true
Takes a leap of faith and some follow through
To build a dream with you

When you run this far and you run this long
From stage to stage on scraps of song
Need some help to keep you strong
To keep you…

Weave a blanket thread by thread
You pick the colors, blue, green, red
Keep us warm on the nights ahead
Build a dream with me

Almost home, in the final stretch
Close the door, latch the latch
Light a fire without a match
Build a dream with me
I'd build a dream with you
We could make a dream come true
Takes a leap of faith and some follow throug
To build a dream with you
I'd build a dream with you
Dream with me and I'll dream with you

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Threads CD.
