Home

All my life I've been waiting

In my mind, in a rocking chair

For my fancy to take the air

I would know the time

Tick and tock went my childhood

Father said I would know the place

Skin would tingle and pulse would race

As they do, it's here

I'm home

Where music fills the air

And I'm home

Where a thousand lovers cry

Swoon and sigh

And I'm home

Where ev'ry violin

Plays a treat as sweet as a honeycomb

Wherever music plays I know I'm home

Here, where fables come alive

Year by year

We forget our troubles nights

Under lights

And each tear becomes a gentle tune or duet

Kept straight by a metronome

And if I'm singing then I know

I'm home

Where ev'ry English horn

Makes me feel glad I'm born

And ev'ry woodwind trill

Excites a thrill that's new

The giant contrabass

The great soprano's face

Combine to make a perfect world

Far better than what's outside

Dreams

I've lived within my dreams

Now it seems

I've awakened and they're real

Pinch and feel

If one day

I walk upon this stage from these wings

And play underneath this dome

And if I sing with all my heart

I'll be home

All my life to be waiting

For an angel to one day speak

Mouth goes dry, and my knees grow weak

At each word, each sound

That voice (Ahhhh)

That music in the air (Ahhhh)

Ev'ry choice, ev'ry syllable, each note

How they float

And her tone

A miracle of silk, spun to gold

Unfolding in polychrome

And when I hear it, how I know I'm home

Who is this prodigy

Who sings to only me

She is as innocent and natural as a rose

I'll do her so much good

We two, I know we could

Combine to make a perfect world

Far better than what's outside

La la la la

La la la la

La la la

Dreams (my dreams)

I've lived within my dreams (my dreams)

Now it seems

I've awakened and they're real

If they're real

If one day I (she) walk (walks)

Upon this stage from these wings

And play (plays) underneath this dome

And if I (she) sings

With all my (her) heart

I'll be home
