Getting Older

Looking at a lot of the photos coming at me on Facebook these days makes me think just how time is passing by. Am I really getting that old?

Dream on has been covered by many. An Aerosmith classic and covered by DIO but think my favourite version might just be the Kelly Sweet version. For some reason it sounds very sad and haunting. And while I believe that it is supposed to be uplifting in many regards I can't help but feel that it is also a plead for what has come to past.

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears, I guess we all have something to sing about, be it good or bad. It's all we have.

Everytime I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Oh...

Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream On, Dream On
Dream On, Dream On

Everytime I look in the mirror
The past is gone

As the years go by we have little choice but to move on. The past is gone, but tomorrow, well that's a whole new adventure. Me, I'm simply going to keep on dreaming.
