You were a tiny spark

Caught in your parents' eyes

When they made love in the dark

You were the big surprise

And the old man came through

Gave his very best for you

And your mother's arms

They kept you warm

Like no other arms could do



Chorus:

When you couldn't find the light

At the top of the stairs

When you cried in the night

Well, you knew they were there

Will the light of the day

Was as bright as it seemed

And you knew in your heart

You were livin' the rest of the dream



Well, i had a dream of you

But i never realized

Baby, the dream was true

That's when you opened my eyes



And i will come through

Do my very best for you

And your lovin' arms

Gonna keep me warm

Like no other arms will do



When you can't find the light







At the top of the stairs

When you cry in the night

Well, you know i'll be there

Till the light of the day

Is as bright as it seems

And you know in your heart

You're livin' the rest of the dream



Now i see a tiny spark

Caught in your lovin' eyes

As we make love in the dark

And wait for the big surprise



And the old man will come through

Son or daughter, just for you

And your mama's arms

Gonna keep you warm

Like no other arms can do



When you can't find the light

At the top of the stairs

When you cry in the night

Well you know we'll be there

Till the light of the day

Is as bright as it seems

And you know in your heart

You're livin' the rest of the dream



Chorus
