And a night in Lafayette
We had breakfast with Susanna
We were young and wild and left
[Chorus:]
What's different here than in that dream
And in reality
Is we weren't afraid to fail in love
And we all believed in the dream
Before... Before
I dreamed of Manhattan
In a time before this war
It was snowing down on Bleecker Street
It was before you were a star
[Chorus]
Now everything is twilight
It's a time too dark to see
It's fear of being what we were
And pondering the dream
Then I dreamed of Texas
And the Gulf Coast shores
I dreamed of who we used to be
And the hope we had before
[Chorus]
