THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK IN THIS LIFE,
FOR PEACE AND TRANQUILITY?
DOES ANYONE TAKE YOU FOR JUST WHAT YOU ARE,
OR WANT YOU FOR WHO YOU MAY BE?
FRIENDSHIP IS A MUCH CHERISHED THING.
TRUE FRIENDS, ARE ALWAYS THEIR.
LETTING YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR LOVED,
AND HOW MUCH THEY TRULY CARE.
YET WE ACHE INSIDE, FOR THE CLOSENESS,
OF A LOVED ONES ARMS HOLDING TIGHT.
JUST HUG AND A TENDER KISS,
AS WE LAY DOWN TO REST EACH NIGHT.
SOMEONE TO LIFT OUR SPIRITS,
AS THE HURDLES OF LIFE APPEAR.
LETTING YOU KNOW, YOU ARE NEEDED,
SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU NEAR.
SHARING A LOVE SO TRUE,
TWO HEARTS BEATING JUST AS ONE.
DISPLAYING THE JOYS OF SUMMER,
AS IF LIFE, HAD JUST BEGUN.
IS THIS THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM?
FOR ONES WHO ARE GROWING OLD?
IS LIFE REALLY NOT THAT SIMPLE?
IS THERE TRULY A HEART OF GOLD?
JUST WAITING AROUND THE CORNER,
WHO CAN BLOOM AS A ROSE IN SPRING.
AND LOVE LIKE THER'ES NO TOMORROW,
WITH THE HAPPINESS THAT CAN BRING?
I GUESS IF WE GO ON BELIEVING,
FOR LONG ENOUGH IN TIME.
GOD WILL GRANT US THE STRENGTH,
FOR THE MOUNTAIN THERE TO CLIMB.
