We Dreamed Our Dreams lyrics
The FureysWe dreamed our dreams
As we walked in the Wicklow byways
Your promise came like a lark's refrain
Warm and true
And I gave my promise too
We dreamed our dreams
As we kissed in the summer gladness
But soon I cry, it would be good-bye
Then you'd be gone
Like the swallows, you'd be gone
With autumn's chill on our hills
I stood alone
I called your name
But heard the silence
Where are you now?
As I linger where vows were whispered?
Another spring the sweet bird sing
I feel the pain
Did we dream our dreams in vain?
[Instrumental]
We dreamed our dreams
As we walked in the Wicklow byways
Your promise came like a lark's refrain
Warm and true
And I gave my promise too
With autumn's chill on our hills
I stood alone
I called your name
But heard the silence
Where are you now?
As I linger where vows were whispered?
It's another spring the sweet bird sing
I feel the pain
Or we dreamed our dreams in vain?
