[Verse 1]
There you stand in your dungarees
Lookin' all grown up and so very pleased
When you write your poems they have so much to say
When you speak your dreams it takes my breath away
You know I wanna be a ballplayer
A regular sluggin' fool
But both our dreams must wait awhile
Until we finish school

[Chorus]
And so you and I
We'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our sweet dreams fly far away (Away)
But maybe someday
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be happy then
'Til our time (Our time) just drifts away

[Verse 2]
There you stand in your wedding dress
You're so beautiful that I must confess
I'm so proud you have chosen me
When a doctor is what you wanna be
You know I wanna be a painter, girl
A real artistic snob
But I guess we'll have our children first
You'll make a home, I'll get a job
[Chorus]
And so you and I
We'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our sweet dreams fly far away (Away)
But maybe someday
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be happy then
'Til our time (Our time) just drifts away

[Bridge]
Listen to the seasons passing
Listen to the wind blow
Listen to the children laughing
Where do broken dreams go?

[Verse 3]
There you stand in your tailored suit
So many years gone by, but you're still so cute
We take the car to go and meet the bus
When our grandchildren come to visit us (Hello, Grandpa)
You say you shoulda been a ballerina, babe
There are songs I should have sung
But I guess our dreams have come and gone
You gotta dream when you are young
[Chorus]
And so you and I
We watched our years go by
We've watched our sweet dreams fly far away (Away)
But maybe someday
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be happy then
'Til our time (Our time) just drifts away

[Clarinet Solo]

[Chorus]
You and I
We'll watch our years go by
We'll watch our sweet dreams fly far away
Maybe someday
I don't know when
But we will dream again
And we'll be hap-hap-happy then
'Til our time drifts away

[Outro]
Oh you, you and I
We'll watch those years, years go by
Watch those sweet, sweet dreams fly far away
Maybe someday
I don't, don't know when
We will dream again
And we'll be hap-happy, happy then
