A Dream That Can Last Lyrics by Neil Young

Before and After

0

[Chorus]
I feel like I died and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare, but the streets are paved with gold
[Verse 1]
I saw a young girl who didn't die
I saw a glimmer from in her eye
I saw the distance, I saw the past
And I know I won't awaken, it's a dream that can last
[Chorus]
I feel like I died and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare, but the streets are paved with gold
[Verse 2]
And all the lights were turned down low
And no one wondered or had to go
Out on the corner the angels say
There is a better life for me someday
[Chorus]
I feel like I died and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare, but the streets are paved with gold
