Always In Disguise

I had so many dreams that would not fly

They fell like August rain before my eyes

I reached out and they were gone

Like the moonlight in the dawn

The most precious things are always in disguiseLooking back I always seemed unwise

But time has cut my ego down to size

Well that's just the way it goes

When we were young, I guess we just didn't know

The most precious things are always in disguiseAnd time has become my crucible

It's tempered all my vanity and glory

For all that's inexcusable

I want to tell you that I'm sorrySo hold me now and watch as the moon does rise

It's funny that it takes so long just to realize

You could wait a lifetime for a night like this

A thousand years for just one kiss

The most precious things are always in disguise
