The Rest Of The Dream Lyrics - John Hiatt

You were a tiny spark 

Caught in your parents' eyes 

When they made love in the dark 

You were the big surprise 

And the old man came through 

Gave his very best for you 

And your mother's arms 

They kept you warm 

Like no other arms could do 

(Chorus) 

When you couldn't find the light 

At the top of the stairs 

When you cried in the night 

Well, you knew they were there 

Will the light of the day 

Was as bright as it seemed 

And you knew in your heart 

You were livin' the rest of the dream

Well, I had a dream of you 

But I never realized 

Baby, the dream was true 

That's when you opened my eyes 

And I will come through 

Do my very best for you 

And your lovin' arms 

Gonna keep me warm 

Like no other arms will do 

When you can't find the light 

At the top of the stairs 

When you cry in the night 

Well, you know I'll be there 

Till the light of the day 

Is as bright as it seems 

And you know in your heart 

You're livin' the rest of the dream

Now I see a tiny spark 

Caught in your lovin' eyes 

As we make love in the dark 

And wait for the big surprise 

And the old man will come through 

Son or daughter, just for you 

And your mama's arms 

Gonna keep you warm 

Like no other arms can do 

When you can't find the light 

At the top of the stairs 

When you cry in the night 

Well you know we'll be there 

Till the light of the day 

Is as bright as it seems 

And you know in your heart 

You're livin' the rest of the dream 

(Chorus) 

When you couldn't find the light 

At the top of the stairs 

When you cried in the night 

Well, you knew they were there 

Will the light of the day 

Was as bright as it seemed 

And you knew in your heart 

You were livin' the rest of the dream
