A Sad Song

From Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Any Dream Will Do

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do

I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colors shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone

May I return to the beginning
The light is thinning and the dream is too
The world and I are still waiting
And hesitating
Any dream will do
~~~~~

Any dream will do? Sometimes.
