Lyrics
Someone's son, someone's man
Someone's inspiration, someone's friend
I depend on sleep to take me to you once again
And if I don't wake up to see
You standing here in front of me,
A dream won't die, a love won't end
'Cause you're forever mine
When I pretend--S. Stewart
The faithful listen to your every word
I've followed for years and I've seen and heard,
Learned and laughed,
Idle nights with melodies and photographs
But if realize someday
You're unaware, too far away
A dream won't die, a love won't end
'Cause you're forever mine
When I pretend--S. Nicks
And when you're old with time's demands
You can be my teacher, I'll be your hands,
Play the part,
Stop for nothing but to have you hold me,
Precious heart,
If I accept what cannot be,
No longer count on destiny
A dream won't die, a love won't end
'Cause you're forever mine
When I pretend
