(The Ollie Atkins version can be viewed here)

I was young when I first met Trina

She was shy

the way some girls just are

Quietly still, but not run of the mill

A seeker not wanting to star

She told me she was never a dreamer

And her race would never be won

She said real love is only for others

A bird exiled from the sun

---

But there is so much in life all around you

Dreams can always be made

Yet you say there is no night in the daylight

And there’s no light in the shade.

---

To the dreamers who dream, keep the light, keep the faith,

To the ones who succeed.

To the ones who just wait

To the lovers who love, live the life

Love your days

To the ones whose love loses,

To the ones where love stays

---

Trina was just a lone dreamer

She wanted a place in the sun

She needed a lover to love her

I really wanted to be the one.

We all long to be lovers

Trailing our toes in the sand

Searching for hope in the faint stars

Awaiting a touch of a hand.

---

So come back to me, my darling

I’ll share your life and take you away

We’ll make plans together

I’ll love you forever

And we’ll live all those dreams every day

---

To the dreamers who dream, keep the light, keep the faith

To the ones who succeed.

To the ones who just wait

To the lovers who love, live your life,

Love your days

To the ones who love loses,

To the ones where love stays.
