I have heard this song on & off. Always felt it was one of the better rock songs. But there was that one time - think it was the opening of the Superbowl in the US when Aerosmith opened it with a live rendition of this song - had me completely zapped. This song just blew me away at that time. Doing a little research at that time, I found out that this song "made it into the rock ‘n roll Hall of Fame as one of the 500 songs that shaped rock ‘n roll. Rolling Stone listed as number 172 in its 500 greatest songs of all time.... It’s not only a piece of rock ‘n roll history, Aerosmith Dream On is a piece of American (rock) history." I rest my case!!
DREAM ON - AEROSMITH
Every time that 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.
Yeah, I know nobody knows,
Where it comes and where it goes.
I know everybody sins.
You got to lose to know-oh how to win.
Half my life's in books' written pages,
Lived and learned from fools and from sages.
You know it's true.
All the things come back to you.
Sing with me, sing for the year.
Sing for the laughter, an' sing for the tear.
Sing it with me, if it's just for today.
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away.
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year.
Sing for the laughter, an' sing for the tear.
Sing it 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 dream come true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream until your dream come true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Life & Death!
