Lyrics
Castles in the sky
Lyrics Jenny Tarof Music Larry Tarof ©2004 Jenny&Larry Tarof
When we were young
We built castles in the sky
And when reality was harsh
It was a place that we could hide
The walls were woven of our dreams
A place to hide our tears
And when the world was frightening
We could be stronger than our fears
And those dreams you had
That were woven as your walls
Did you keep them fortified?
Or did you let them fall?
Chorus
Castles in the sky
Where the grown up mind may stray
Peace in tough times
A place to fly away
When you grew up
You gave up all your dreams
Your sights were on reality
And what you must achieve
But I know late at night
When your family?s gone to sleep
You let your mind just slip away
To your castle in the sky
When you wander
It?s get harder to return
Dreams can?t be forgotten
And each time you think you?ll learn.
Bridge
You let others dream before you
And help them on their way
And because you sacrifice your hopes
You?ll always be brave
Chorus
