Always Been a Dreamer

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when you get older
Life's a little bit harder
Always trying to find a way home

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Of this time of year
This time of year
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when you get older
Life's a little bit harder
Always trying to find a way home

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
The sparkle (Oh, oh)
The sparkle (Oh)
The sparkle (Oh)
Oh, the sparkle (Oh)

[Outro]
Of this time of year
Of this time of year
Oh, oh
