There's a sailor gone to sea only he knows how it feels as he bids a fond farewell to all his kin as he walks along the shore to his love he throws a rose I'll return again in winter or in spring. We had it all we had the best of times we had a life that dreams are made of. At the station she boards a train wet with tears and rain and a father holds a mothers empty hand all the things you need to know, she whispers as she goes what I have I hold forever in my heart. We had it all we had the best of times we had a life that dreams are made of. Where the sun meets the sky that a soldier standing by his eyes they cannot hide that lonesome tale threre's a photograph of home the smell of sweet cologne and words of love for ever and a day. We had it all we had the best of times we had a life that dreams are made of. On an old country lane where the wilderness still reigns an old man takes a flower in his hand Well I've watched you bloom and fade and the beauty you create And I'll take this pleasure with me as we part. We had it all we had the best of times we had a life that dreams are made of. We had it all we had the best of times we had a life that dreams are made of. We had it all we had the best of times we had a life that dreams are made of.
