"Always Been A Dreamer" lyrics

When I was a child
I always wanted to shine
I always wanted to be
The best me I could be
When I was a child
I was first by the tree
Oh, I've always been a dreamer
Tell me a story, I'll believe ya

'Cause when you get older
Life's a little bit harder
Always trying to find a way home

Oh, this year I mean it
I'm really gonna feel it
Let's dance to the darkness
Just 'cause it's Christmas
Oh, this year I need it
That old familiar feeling
Let's stay up all night in the silver light

Of this time of year
This time of year
Oh, oh

Once a light in a star
Now just a smile from a friend
A friend who's had the hardest time
But you know it's gonna be fine
A new kind of magic
Oh, a cure for life's madness
Like a random act of kindness
Gives me hope when I can't find it

'Cause when you get older
Life's a little bit harder
Always trying to find a way home

Oh, this year I mean it
This year I'm gonna feel it
Let's dance to the darkness
Just 'cause it's Christmas
Oh, this year I need it
That old familiar feeling
Let's stay up all night in the silver light

The sparkle (Oh, oh)
The sparkle (Oh)
The sparkle (Oh)
Oh, the sparkle (Oh)

Of this time of year
Of this time of year
Oh, oh
