Time it was I had a dream
And you're the dream come true
And if I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you.
I'll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I'll show you how this life became
A miracle to me.
You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done, you'll be the one who knows.
All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest one
I will watch you struggle on
For the answers come
But I won't make it harder
I'll be there to cheer you up
I'll shine the light that guides you down
The road you're walking on
You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done, you'll be the one who knows.
Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
When I teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own
But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and let me say
It all went by so fast
You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done, you'll be the one who knows.
