Lyric
I guess my heart just settled back to earthI rode a dream so wild and free, for all that dream was worthTrue love is both a blessing and a curseAnd I guess my heart just settled back to earthI remember what you said that night, so long agoThe dream for you had ended, and you let me knowSo, I bounced from sky to sky, tryin’ to keep the dream aliveAnd everything I did, just made it worseGuess my heart just settled back to earthThe songs our love created, I still singAnd every night we’d make the rafters ringAnd tonight, I’ll sing for everything I’m worthFor all the hearts that settle back to earthThe songs our love created, I still singEvery night we’d make the rafters ringAnd tonight, I’ll sing for everything I’m worthAnd let my heart settle back to earthAnd tonight, we’ll go sing, for everything we’re worthFor all the hearts that settle back to earth
