Classic Poem

(Sam M. Lewis alone)

  VERSE 1

Midnight,
You heavy laden, it's midnight.
Come on and trade in your old dreams for new,
Your new dreams for old.
I know where they're bought,
I know where they're sold.
Midnight,
You've got to get there at midnight,
And you'll be met there by others like you,
Brothers as blue,
Smiling on the street of dreams.

  REFRAIN

Love laughs at a king,
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams.
Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams.
Gold, silver and gold,
All you can hold
Is in the moonbeams;
Poor, no one is poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams.

  VERSE 2

Midnight,
Look at the steeple, it's midnight.
Unhappy people, it's ringing with joy,
It's ringing with cheer,
'Cause yesterday's gone,
Tomorrow is near.
Midnight,
The heart is lighter at midnight,
Things will be brighter the moment you find
More of your kind,
Smiling on the street of dreams.
