Dreams Lyrics by Van Halen

The Best of Both Worlds

1986

[Verse 1]
World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts falling down
Better change your tune
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring
You reach for the sky
Baby, just spread your wings

[Chorus]
And get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

[Verse 2]
Run, run, run away
Like a train runnin' off the track
Got the truth bein' left behind
Fall between the cracks
Standin' on broken dreams
Never losin' sight, ah
Well, just spread your wings

[Chorus]
We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

[Post-Chorus]
So baby, dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
'Cause we belong
In a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Yeah, we'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind
Oh, we'll get higher and higher
Who knows what we'll find

[Post-Chorus]
So baby, dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
Oh, baby, we belong
In a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
And in the end
On dreams we will depend
'Cause that's what love is made of
