Lyrics
When the mornin’ sun streaks across my room,
And I’m wakened up from another dream of you,
Yes, I’m on the road once again it seems,
All I’ve left behind is a chain of broken dreams.
But you know I love you,
Yes, I love you, oh, I love you.

How I wish that love is all we need to live,
What a life we’d have ‘cause I’ve got so much to give.
And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart
That the dollar sign could be keepin’ us apart.
When you know I love you,
Yes, I love you, oh, I love you.

And if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life had not yet crossed our minds.
And the answers could be found in children’s nurs’ry rhymes.
I’d come runnin’ back to you,
I’d come runnin’ back to you.

But you know we can’t live on dreams alone,
And to pay the rent I must leave you all alone.
But you know I made my choice many years ago,
Now this trav’ling life is the only one I know.
But you know I love you,
Yes, I love you, oh, I love you.
