the sound a dream makes
the volunteer behind the desk said
son you better get some rest
theres plenty of these sleepless nights to come
im guessing this must be your first
you say its gonna be a girl
your in trouble son
two against one
but that first time that you hear her cry
it will all become so clear
dreams aren’t just for holdin
they are somthin you can hear
[:: CHORUS ::]
its the first steps that she takes
the first time you hear her say
i love you daddy man it takes your breath away
yellow bus on her first day
singing in that christmas play
jumping in the leaves that you just raked
thats the sound a dream makes
he walked out from behind the desk
straightened up his cotten vest
pulled his wallet out as he sat down
took a picture out and smiled said
this one heres my first grandchild
she likes to ride around
with grandpa into town
just when you think a quiet house
is where the story ends
your baby has a baby and the dream begins again
[:: CHORUS ::]
its that knee shes gonna scrape
tears rollin down her face and she’ll say grandpa
can you make it be okay
when her laughter gives away
her favorite hiding place
the first prayer that you ever hear her pray
thats the sound a dream makes
tag
oh when her laughter gives away her favorite hiding place
the first time you ever hear her pray
thats the sound a dream makes
