If I could dream

If I could dream a thousand dreams
And make each one come true
I would not dream of distant lands
Or calm lagoons of blue

I would not dream of diamonds
Or other precious gems
Of chalets in the Swiss Alps
Or villas on the Thames

I would not dream of riches
Of silver or of gold
Or dream of lasting youth
And never growing old

If I could dream a thousand dreams
And make each one come true
I’s only need the first one
The one I have of you
