WORKING ON A DREAM Out here the nights are long the days are lonelyI think of you and I'm working on a dreamI'm working on a dreamThe cards I've drawn's a rough hand darlin'I straighten my back and I'm working on a dreamI'm working on a dreamThough sometimes it feels so far awayI'm working on a dreamAnd how it will be mine somedayRain pourin' down I swing my hammerMy hands are rough from working on a dreamI'm working on a dreamThough trouble can feel like it's here to stayI'm working on a dreamOur love will chase the trouble away I'm working on a dreamThough it can feel so far awayI'm working on a dreamAnd our love will make it real somedaySunrise come I climb the ladderThe new day breaks and I'm working on a dreamI'm working on a dreamThough it can feel so far awayI'm working on a dreamAnd our love will make it real somedayI'm working on a dreamThough it can feel so far awayI'm working on a dreamAnd our love will make it real someday
